Listen to the Still Small Voice

Yesterday I had an interesting experience. I had just put Taylor down for a nap and she was sleeping fine, so I went downstairs to work on my Primary newsletter for my church calling. I was typing away when I had this feeling that I needed to go check on Taylor. So I walked upstairs and I could hear this muffled cry. I went into her room and found her lying on her stomach with her head buried . Now Taylor has learned to roll over so it didn't surprise me to find her lying on her stomach but usually her head will fall to the side. When I found her I quickly picked her up. I looked at her face and it was a terrible blue color. I couldn't believe it....I was so scared. I grabbed her tight and she began to scream. Usually I don't enjoy the sound of her scream but at this moment I was so relieved. I can't imagine she could have lasted much longer like that and the outcome would have been awful. I began to cry and hug my baby and thank my Heavenly Father for prompting me to go and check on her. I would never have heard her because her cry was so muffled which resulted in her lack of being able to breath.

Each morning before Shon leaves for work we kneel and pray as a family. Avery is old enough that she will kneel with us and fold her arms. She only lasts for about 20 seconds, but she is learning and improving. Yesterday morning it was my turn to pray and I asked Heavenly Father to watch over me and the girls and to keep us safe. Finding Taylor just in time was a real answer to my prayers. I am so thankful. I don't know what I would do without my little girls. Experiences like this help me to recognize the great blessings I have in my life and to appreciate both the good and the not so good times.
