A Reminder That God Answers Prayer

I normally wouldn't share something this personal for the whole world to know, but I felt that if it could bless just one person reading it, then it was well worth it.

Here goes;

As I was leaving the office yesterday and getting into my car, the Lord dropped in my spirit that I needed to send my mother a certain amount of money. The amount was not a huge amount at all. I have to admit (though I am ashamed of it now) that I even laughed because it not only caught me off guard, but also that the amount was such a small amount. Anyhow, still not completely understanding, I wrote a check out when I got home and dropped it in the mail.

Again, this was not something that I had planned on sharing with anyone (other than Dirk, of course).

My oldest sister called me to discuss the annual October Fest that was coming to their town and was asking if I could bring the girls to it. We talked about several other things in the course of our conversation. Right before we were about to hang up, she said, "Oh, Mom's phone is going to be turned off because she didn't have enough money to pay the bill." I asked her if she knew how much was needed since Mom had not shared this with me directly. My sister said, "Oh, she needed another $____ in order to keep her phone on."

Would you believe that it was the EXACT same amount that the Lord told me to send? Isn't this just like the Lord?

I was so thankful to not only hear the Lord's voice, but even more thankful that I obeyed!

I am sure that my mom had already prayed to the Lord for help in this area with her finances. Little did she know that the Lord was already working on her behalf.
