Caffeine

     Caffeine is one of the greatest causes for a woman to miscarry before she even knows she's pregnant.  I'm usually so careful to only have a little caffeine in a day.  I've read sipping one cup of caffeinated tea a day can actually help!  So I've allowed myself to have my one cup.  If really spaced out, sometimes two in a day.  When we make a gallon of sweet tea at home, we use decaff tea bags.  Yesterday I wasn't thinking.  We were at Jared's grandparent's house and grandma made some strong sweet tea.  I guzzled it down.  I'm in my two week wait and I just completely forgot about the caffeine!
     Dear LORD, please LORD keep the caffeine I consumed yesterday from harming our child.  I am so sorry I forgot, and I pray LORD that you will forgive me.  Thank you LORD for the time spent with family yesterday.  I pray their journey home will be safe.  Thank you LORD for us being able to dog-sit this weekend making a little more money.  Thank you LORD for another day.  Please LORD continue to watch over us and protect us.  In Your son, Jesus', precious and holy name, Amen.
