WAIT.....On the Lord.

I have been giving stories of immediate answers to prayers. I have been thinking lately about prayers that take some time to be seen. Most recently my wife was sick. Not one to complain, I had noticed her holding her mid section frequently. She was having pains and wasn't saying anything. One night laying in bed I prayed with her like I did with my boy when he was in the hospital. The next morning I asked how she felt. She said about the same then she expressed to me that she didn't want my view of God to change because He didn't heal her right away. We'll it didn't, but it does make one wonder why it works one time and not the next. Nevertheless I continued to pray for her. She finally decided she needed to see a doctor. Now this is where God's providence and God's timing come in together. My wife worked for her dad when we first met up until she was pregnant with the twins.....14 years ago. So she decides to call her dad and have him set something up with his doctor on her behalf. After being checked out and blood work done and this test and that test, it was determined that she was having really bad heart burn and maybe developing a gall stone. Now my wife doesn't work and she doesn't have insurance so all of this is coming in with single income with three kids. At the end of the doctors visit the doctor said "haven't you worked on my roof before?" She said yes that she used to work with her dad doing carpentry and roofing. When asked how much she owed he said NOTHING and gave her a supply of medication that was free samples. That was two months ago and she has been doing fine for a while now. Praise God for his provisions. God influences the minds of people and convicts hearts to accomplish His will. Look forward to some more stories of God touching the hearts of people to provide for HIS children!!!
