Answered Prayers

We've had three big prayers answered this week, so I just wanted to pass on the amazing things God has been doing in our lives lately.

1. We're having a girl. I already blogged about this one, but it's sure not forgotten!
2. Our current renter had been planning to move out in August, and she has already found the next renter for us. He signed a lease today through the end of next August. (We hadn't even started praying about this one yet!)
3. Ellie was playing on our plastic Little Tykes slide today and went down it carrying a kid-sized plastic rake. I didn't think a thing of it, until she reached the bottom and the rake hit the ground before her feet, and the handle jammed into her eye. (Parents, don't let your children go down the slide carrying a rake. It sounds obvious now.) I worried that we should maybe even take her in to the doctor right away, just to make sure her vision was okay, but Isaac calmly prayed over her while I held ice on it (there are SO many reasons I married him!). Now, 6 hours later, it looks FAR better than we thought it would. God really protected Ellie's eye and kept her safe.
