Answered Prayers

Here is an amazing story for you!
When Emery was born, I prayed to God that her life would have a special purpose. I prayed that someone, somewhere would benefit from all of the struggles she had the first few months of her life. Well, God answered my prayers this week.
My mother in law Mary has family in California who came to Kentucky last year and we got to meet them. Bev had been following Emery's story from the beginning and Mary has sent pictures to her along the way.
Bev is very active in a pro-life group that speaks to different groups and hands out material etc.
Bev asked Mary for some pictures when she was first born and in the incubator. She sent them and never really heard back for a little while.
Yesterday she received an email back from Bev and in it was this story:
Bev took the pictures and made a brochure out of it that they distribute to abortion clinics and anyone else where they can reach pregnant women. One of the brochures landed in the hands of a young woman who is pregnant and just had an ultrasound to determine that her baby is going to be born with a rare form of dwarfism. This woman had been debating on terminating the pregnancy or not and when she saw the brochure and the pictures of Em, she decided against it. She said that she is going to just pray like we did and hope that God blesses her as much as he did us. Will you join me in praying for this mother and her unborn child?
A young couple also came into an abortion clinic where the brochure was and after being there for 10 minutes and reading the brochure, they walked out and didn't keep their appointment!
Thank you father for answering my prayer! I pray that many more lives will be spared by the story and pictures of my sweet blessing.
I would go through all of this again, just for this reason!
Let this be a daily reminder to us what an awesome God we serve!
