PTL

Well, praise the Lord, the mole is benign!  What a relief although I truly belied that I would beat Pastor Ron and Lorna home.   Guess the Lord has something more for me to do.  So, it appears I will be around for a while yet.  Wish I knew what He wanted me to do, but will trust, wait and praise Him, while I wait.  He is so good to me!

I was reminded of Psalm 56:3 I will trust in God and not be afraid, for what can mere  man do to me?  Also, on my way home from the doctors, the Matthew 6:25-33 came on the radio.  This scripture has great meaningg to me. 

Shortly after my husband died, money was tight as I worked in a bakery and made $35.00 every two  week, had two girls and a grandson home as well.  Fortunately my home was paid off.  This particular day, as I was working My last five dollars was in my apron pocket.  I has finished cleaning  the bakery and started to getting ready to go home.  I reached into my apron pocket and to my utter dismay, the five dollars was gone.  I must have looked similar to the lady who was looking for her lost coin.  I searched high low, under the counter, and work tables in the back of the shop, to no avail.  I even went dumpster diving, because ddesperate measures bring forth desperate action.   All the while I was crying out to the Lord.  Now, in those days f I needed a good cry, I found the bathtub, to be my prayer closet.

I sat in a hot tub full of water, and with the water still running, I cried to the Lord.  Fear gripped my soul not knowing what to do.  As sat  in the tub, playing with my washcloth, and sobbing so hard my throatt  hurt.    crying with the water running so no one could hear me cry,  But, my Lord brought the Matthew passage to my remembrance and suddenly, at least in my mind, the washcloth took on the shape of a Lilly.  I was on;y fourteen months old in the Lord, He reassured me through this demonstration  that He heard me and would answer the cry of my heart.  How, I did not know, but I believed the scripture.  Lord, did I need a miracle, and the next day He answered to my cry , and in the oddest way.

It was Sunday, and I had to open the bakery at 9 a.m.  There was a Assembly of God church just up the road and many of their people pop in for morning goodies on their way home.  This particular morning a lady came in, and made her purchase.  Before i knew it she was back with an odd look on her face.  I, in my insecurities, thought she had been short changed.  Waiting to get yelled at, she held out her fist to me , andsaid.  :I don't know why, but the Lord told time to give this you.  It was a five dollar bill!  I thanked her , went into the back, fell on my knees crying and praising God for answering my prayer.  As silly as it sounds it was like a host of angels were surrounding me with joy, and seemed to illuminate the room.  Was this real or just a figment of my imagination?  I chose to believe it was real and that God is concerned about the smallest issue in our lives.  Just a side note, the lady that was God's tool to answer my cry, was the same lady who prayed with me in the hospital corridor outside my husbands room, as he watched this transpire.  She also was a fiend of my neighbor lady, Mrs Anderson, who I am sure helped prayed Gordon and I into the Kingdom.

It was the same scripture I heard going to doctor this morning.  Even though much transpire in my life that seems difficult with few answers forth coming, He is the same God who answered my prayer over a five dollar bill.  Is there anything too hard for my Lord?  NO!!  He will, in His time make straight the needs I have today, but in His way and timing, not mine!  Rest assured child of God, He is not slow as some may think.  He is always on time!!

Blessings and rejoice my Lord's answer to prayer about my mole, However, I will still be praying about my most pressing need.  For, He has promised to meet our needs, not our wants.according to Scripture.  As in the time past, I needed a miracle; it is the same now, for there is nothing I can do on my own to fix this.  But, my Lord and God can!  Trust and faith go hand in hand with believing Him for the impossible.

Blessings, love, and Maranatha!
