As I was about to drift off to sleep, the phone rang. I figured it was Chelsea because she is the only one who calls that late. Eric and I both picked up and she asked to speak to me. I could tell she was upset and immediately asked what was wrong. She started crying so hard. She dreamed about Hannah. She was a bit scared and overwhelmed by the entire experience. I truly believe that the Lord gave her the gift to have the presence of her sister tonight. I believe that He wanted Chelsea to know how much He loves her and takes care of all her needs. Please pray for her as she sleeps. Pray that satan does not rob her of the joy of experiencing her sister's presence. Pray that she will not fear and will see God's hand in this. I do praise the Lord that she called here. I see that as she is trusting us. But my heart breaks because I cannot be there to hug her and comfort her.

Tomorrow brings new life, and closes the chapter on another. Our friend Caroline will deliver her baby boy tomorrow at 7:45. This baby has been so prayed for. Caroline has had 4 losses, 2 in the last year. She has 3 girls who are very excited about meeting their new brother. Pray things go well and that Caroline sleeps well. I had the joy of meeting a new member of our church on Saturday. She graciously said she would help with Glory Babies. But she did not know when because her husband was in ICU and she was unsure if he would live. I was completely floored that this woman would answer God's call during such a time of distress. The Lord took her husband home yesterday morning. But not before they had some moments in which he was lucid and recognized. Thank you God for those gifts! His funeral is tomorrow. Pray for his family. There were in the prime of their life. Their kids had just flown the coop and they were entering their time together. My heart breaks for her. The Lord gives and the Lord takes away.

Thank you Lord for a friend who is a night owl and took the time to pray! And thank You Lord that You never slumber and You hear all my prayers!
