God most recently answered my prayer with the healthy birth of my first child! I often have difficulty trusting God and tend to live more with fear and anxiety, rather than with peace and trust in Him. I realized this even more so during my pregnancy!

There were so many things I worried about...when the doctor at first couldn't find his heartbeat...when I was in a minor car accident at 18 weeks...when the swine flu broke out and my doctor told me lots of pregnant women were dying from it but no one knew how safe the vaccine was either...and even all the way into delivery as his heart rate dropped and my doctor told me, "We need to get this baby out! I don't want to lose this baby." (Yikes!)

During the whole process of being pregnant and giving birth to my amazing son, God taught me to give these concerns over to Him in prayer. I had absolutely no control at all over the whole process. I was able to see God show His faithfulness to me as He answered my prayer and blessed me with an incredible, healthy baby boy in December 2009!"
