Ephraim Benjamin was literally prayed over in to this world and every day since then God has revealed himself through Ephraim&#8217;s life. We are SO thankful for this miracle that God gave us 4 years ago. It was one of the scariest and most joyful days we have had. During the normal check up, there were complications found and I was sent to be checked more thoroughly. Du<span class=\"text_exposed_show\">ring this exam, there was about a 5 minute period where there was not a heart beat to be found. Just a little bit later we were in the OR and he was born, needed a little oxygen, was 3 weeks early and super little, but perfect. We found out a couple of weeks later that right at that time where there was no heartbeat, some of our prayer warriors were praying specifically for our family, not because they knew what was happening, but because they felt God putting us on their heart to pray. We know Ephraim is here because of that and we KNOW prayer works, Ephraim is evidence. SO, Happy 4th birthday big guy! We love you so much and are blessed to be your parents!<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7883\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190826_122054_534-750x750.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190826_122054_534-750x750.jpg 750w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190826_122054_534-150x150.jpg 150w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190826_122054_534-768x768.jpg 768w, http:\/\/blogs.covchurch.org\/delp\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2019\/08\/IMG_20190826_122054_534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>We were able to celebrate his birthday in style by taking the kids to one of their favorite hangouts &#8220;Mr. Joy&#8221;
