Out of the Mouth of Kaylynn 2

It is amazing how God blesses us through our children!
I just recently found out that one of my best friends is pregnant, and they weren't really trying or desiring to have another baby. I can't tell you how devestating the news was to me. Although I am very happy for her, it is so hard to understand. With tears in my eyes, I told her that I was happy for her, but that this was going to be so hard for me. Being the great friend she is she cried with me. In that moment I was quite upset with the Lord. It seemed like He was picking an choosing, and He wasn't choosing me!
Then we were interrupted because my friend had to take her son to the restroom. While they were gone, my daughter Kaylynn came over singing a scripture song from one of her CD's. Let your requests be made known unto God Phillipians 3:8 ...........
I decided to go ahead and tell her the news, encouraging myself with the same words that I was speaking to them, that we should be happy for them, even though it is hard for us.
At first Kaylynn didn't understand, she said, but they already have baby Ashlyn. ( As in they have Ashlyn already, isn't that enough. Again, I explained that God had blessed them with another baby, trying to hold back the tears. We talked for a few minutes longer, and asked her if she still wanted to have a brother or sister. She said she would like to have a brother that wouldn't die. She then decided spontaneously to talk to God and ask Him to give us a baby boy that wouldn't die. Right after she prayed she came over and hugged me and said, it will be okay mommy I promise. God will give you a new baby, I promise. I want to believe that God could do this even though it is really hard. I want to believe that wasn't just my little girl speaking, but God using her to speak to me to let my requests be made known unto my Father God!
