• Feb. 7, 2008 - An Answer to Prayer

I never cease to be amazed at the personal way God can answer prayer. As you may know we have been searching for a new home. Unfortunately we are on kind of a short time table.  Well we thought we had finally found a house. It was an older home and wasn’t exactly what we wanted but we thought it would do. I happen to be lucky enough to be married to a man who can do construction and home improvement so if we find a house that may need a little work that is not such a big deal to us. However, we just weren’t sure about the house. We went and looked at it twice. Something just seemed off. So of course we decided to pray about it. There had not been anything else suitable that we had seen and nothing new had come on the market at this time so really this house was our best bet. Well when we prayed about it we prayed that God would make the decision more clear. That something would happen to show us if this was the house that was meant for us. As soon as we finished praying I told David that I think we will know right away his answer. I said that there hasn’t been anything else on the market and this house has been on the market for over a year so either something else would come on the market that would be better for us or someone else would make an offer on the house. Those were my exact words immediately after praying.

The very next day our realtor sent us a listing for a house that was much better suited to our needs and later that day said that another couple was taking a second look at the house and was very interested in it. It was almost exactly what I had said the night before. Isn’t that amazing. Don’t we have an amazing God. It couldn’t have been clearer if the sky had opened and a choir started singing like always happens in the movies. I told Dave well I think we have our answer. This is not our home. So we are walking away from that house.  We will be looking at the other house tomorrow. I am so excited to see it because I just feel this will be the one. We will be praying about it tonight. I hope you will pray for us too that God will reveal to us the house that he has planned for us. I knew as soon as we were told that we had to move from this house that God already had a plan in place for us and we just had to find it.
