When God Answers

When God answers a prayer

It is seldom in the way we desire

Or the way we think He will answer

Sometimes,

Most of the Time,

Maybe Always,

He surprises us in the Best Ways

This past week
I was burdened down with a heavy decision I needed to make

A decision that wouldn't necessarily change My life

But would or could drastically change son #2's life

I prayed and begged God to make it easier on me

I pleaded for Mark to be here

So he could help ease my pain

I didn't Want to make the decision

I knew I Had to make

I definitely didn't Want to tell my son

What he did not want to hear

His little heart has been so broken

Over the past year

And I didn't want to contribute to his pain

But I knew the answer

Dread enveloped my soul

Pain was written all over my face

I couldn't understand why God wanted me to break my son's heart again

The hours were clicking by

The time had almost arrived

When out of No Where

Came sweet, calm and deliberate

Words from my son's mouth

Mom, I just don't think I should do (...) right now

I think I need to wait a little longer

I need to take more time to think about it

I need to be an adult and wait for the right time

Friends,

God gave me peace about my decision

But NO peace about talking to my son

Yet, HE spoke to my son instead

And gave him peace with the answer

You have no idea what a tender moment that was

When God speaks to your children

And they listen and act on His voice

Mmmmmmm.....heavenly!!!!!

Thank you Dear Lord!

There is Peace in our Home

And,

I actually made dinner two nights in a row

I think that peace has calmed my freatful heart
