after 5 hrs of driving, being pulled over by a cop, pit stops at local walmarts and hours of truth-or-dare...we've finally made it into Philly. during the car ride i couldn't help but to feel sad that D wasn't there to share in our fun. my physical body was there in the car talking and having fun, but my thoughts were with her. i felt like something bad was going to happen or that she's hurting. desperately i wanted to hear her voice and make sure that she was ok. i wrote her an email..received a reply...and right after i replied again i got a phone call from her. it was as if she knew right when i pushed the "send" button. i just love the way God works...especially if it's an instant reply/result. hehe..don't we all?
but, sometimes i feel that it's the long awaited results from God that are the most rewarding. it's during those long periods of waiting that we learn the most about ourselves and of God's sovereignty. He will ALWAYS respond to your prayers and on top of that He'll reward you with something totally unexpected and more than what you have asked for.
a prime example of that would be 9 years ago. i had just gotten out of a bad relationship and was pretty wounded from the experience. i knew that i had to make a pretty big commitment so i could focus on chasing after God. i prayed a certain prayer that eventually led me to meet my future husband. i said "Father, i want to focus on living a life that will glorify u. so, please close my eyes and my heart to all the guys around me except for the one that you have planned for me." well, about a year of praying and waiting for the right one, God introduced me to A who just so happened to have prayed the same exact prayer as i did. as you all know, A is now my husband and together we are chasing after God's heart.
