The Power of Prayer

Yesterday was our 7 year Anniversary of our first date from high school. Wow, it sure doesn't feel that long ago, yet when I look back at pictures it looks that long ago! We were young, immature high schoolers just simply dating because we found a friend in each other. Stan claims he knew I was "the one" back then, but I didn't know until later on in college.

THEN- high school













NOW-



















My mom shared with me the other night that when I changed schools in 11th grade and went to Oakwood Christian School, she prayed I would find a sweet, Christian guy to date. She wrote the date of her prayer in her bible and it was in September 2001. The following month is when we met and had our first date...and the rest is history.

It's amazing how the Lord answers our prayers and not only answers them but so perfectly beyond our comprehension. I read The Power of a Praying Wife last year in a bible study at our old church in Oklahoma. This book not only changed our marriage but taught me about the power of prayer. I refer to this book weekly and it is continuing to change my prayer life. After thinking back this week to 7 years ago, when my mom prayed for me and 1 month later I met Stan, it confirms my thoughts even more on the power of prayer.
