This week I've been really reflecting on how God answers prayers. It's been so fun to see how situations now are answers to prayers that were prayed years ago. Seeing people we are mentoring and knowing how we had prayed from before we were married even for God to use us in others' lives is humbling. Fitting the roles on our team here so perfectly reminds us of the years of prayer when we were not sure what we were doing and what our giftings were to be used for, or even with clarity what those gifts were. Making friends with people who do not know our best Friend and remembering praying on my friend's porch one afternoon a year and a half ago for those relationships-yet not having any idea it would be answered on the other side of the ocean, these are the moments that make me smile inside and out! Our God loves to answer prayer! I could list many more things but I'll try to keep this post a bit shorter than the last few...
God is good and faithful and while it rarely is in the way we imagine, he delights in our talking to him and loves to answer us back! As I spent time praying with J tonight before bed, I was excited to see how he will answer what we are praying for together now. God is good!!!
