Answered Prayer

This post will be short because I have a ton to do, (my mom comes tomorrow, yay) but I just had to share.

There is not much better than the power of prayer. I have known this, but on a day like today I am reminded. I pray very often, but one thing I pray for the most is protection over our family, and specifically Brady. I know he is protected because of this. Honestly as a very active two year old boy who constantlly jumps off things, and genetically he gets clumsiness from me, he needs LOTS of protection.

Yesterday he was walking up the stairs for the hundredth time that day, helping by carrying his shoes. I was already at the top of the stairs when I heard him cry and start to fall. When I turned around he was flipping down the stairs! Thankfully he was very scared but he ended up fine, much better than it could have been. We were so thankful. Prayer of protection answered.

Now let me show you southerners a picture of a window well, not ours, it is too dark to take a pic. Because we have basements, the window is underground, and this allows it to still receive light. We have three window wells, and Brady and the dogs are all pretty good about staying away, so they do not fall.

This morning, while we were outside, I was sweeping the patio which had some dead bugs on it. I told Brady to back up, so that he would not get any bugs on him, and unfortunately did not stop backing up. He backed up right into the window well. Sadly we have not installed a guard over the large deep opening yet, and it was probably about a 4 to 5 foot fall. One second he was there and the next he was gone and screaming. I of course, freaked, and climbed down and got him out very quickly. It is amazing how quickly you react in that situation. He is banged up, and bruised, but nothing was broken, and no trip to the hospital. We are working on getting a cover as soon as possible.

Thankfully, once again he was protected. I won't talk in what if's but both of those accidents could have ended terribly different. I know that he was protected supernaturally, and I just thank God!

So I just want to encourage you in keeping up with your prayer time. We have been giving the power in Jesus name, to control very real spirits to help us, and also to bind ones that are from the enemy. Use this and be fearful no more, because you can always know who is on your side.

"I will give you the keys to the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven." Matthew 16:19
