Thank God For Answered Prayers

My Co-worker's precious little angel of 8 months had to undergo surgery on August 12th. She was diagnosed with CCAM(??) in utero. What a whirlwind of craziness since August 12th for this loving family. My heart went out to mom for the courage and strength she "mustered" up, but it wasn't until visiting baby Avarie in the hospital the first day after a surgery that spanned 7 hours, that I knew I had a special place in my heart for all God's little people. It simply made me weak in the knees to see this beautiful little baby in such pain. While her strength amazed everyone at how well she had done and continued to do, I simply felt almost broke! Broke for her Mom and Dad and broke at the thought of what must be going through there heads. I felt the night before just helpless....I didn't even know what to do for them.....so I just prayed. And not only did I pray, I called and asked people whom I (in many years of knowing them) had never asked for there prayers, but I did that night, and I just kept calling and asking for prayers. The funny thing is.....within a short time of my phone call prayer chain, if you will, baby Avarie came out of a surgery much sooner than expected. For me, this was an answer to prayer. Who knew what would happen from there, but I felt as though this was another one of those times that I simply knew that prayers had been answered. Isn't it funny what strength you feel when you pray!
