more on faith

God answers prayer!

At my job I spend the days with a mixed group of people from various faith backgrounds and countries. Its so lovely to learn about the different places and experiences that these women have gone through in their lives. Today has been no different than any other day, other than a few of the women sharing about answered prayer! PTL!

One woman's 14 year old son ran away from home and had been missing for 8 days. Yesterday in morning devotions we prayed for this young boy - that he would be safe and know their are safe places and people to go to, even if he didn't want to go home. Well, this morning in devotions she shared that last night she received the call that he was safe and had gone home!! Love it!

Today we prayed for the court date of one of the ladies b/f. There have been issues with this guy, but of course we want what is best for him, and God's will. That is what we prayed - for judges that are just, with open eyes and ears to hear truth and make a good decision. The outcome...its not perfect but could have been worse, and my lovely friend here had actual happiness in her voice (something not heard from her often!).

The idea of having faith is often something that these women don't want to grasp. I mean, something they can't tangibly see, hear, touch, smell or taste?! That just can't be possible!
God is answering my prayers here in this place as well (and testing my faith a little more as I sit and think about these things!!!), by showing me the growing faith that is taking place in so many of these women! Its truly amazing!

Blessings.
