"I prayed for this child, and the LORD granted my request." 1 Samuel 1:27
This verse reins true in this story.
Alyson and I became best buds in 2005 while she
and her cousin, Brooke attended SU pretty much in my backyard.
Even though I was still at the famous WHS....most of my time was spent
hanging out with these girls and the rest of the gang out their college apartment
that was right down the road from my parent's house in Wadley.
I can't believe all those fun memories were made almost
9 years ago!!
It is crazy for me to even think that I could say....
I did THAT 10 YEARS AGO.....
Anyway, I feel like me, Aly and Brooke have been friends for a lifetime!
Those are the best kind of friends!!!
The kind that even when you don't see them you know there are there!
Always just a phone call away!!
They pray for you, laugh with you, cry with you...
even when you are miles apart!
For the past 2 years.....I haven't seen these sisters very MUCH AT ALL!
However, we have kept in touch and always pick right back up where we left off
from our last visit....
Over the past couple of years, I have definitely prayed and cried for Aly.
After loosing a baby and trusting God in His timing for a child......
GOD ANSWERED OUR PRAYER AND HEARD OUR CRIES!!
This week I read this sweet post on Facebook
from Alyson's wall and couldn't wait to get to her house
to hold this answered prayer......
" Two years ago a long journey started for Tim and I. I never knew how hard that journey would be. I have cried and prayed more in those two years than I had ever cried or prayed. And I pray everyday. All Tim and I wanted was a healthy baby. So on January 19 when the Drs. told me they had no choice but to take my healthy baby 10 weeks early, you can understand the fear that came over me. But at 12:19am on the 20th of jan. I heard my son cry for the first time. My world changed forever but He had a hard fight and a long journey ahead him. Again all I could do. was cry and pray. But today at 12:45 the tears I cried and the prayers that were prayed werent tears of saddness or prayers for strength it was tears of joy, prayers thanking God for answered prayers. Because at 12:45 today mine and Tims life officially got started. I walked out of the hospital for the last time. My baby is finally home!!!! "
