BIG or little. . . .God answers!

For the past several months I've been taking alot of "things" to the throne of Grace, some big some little, yet they all are important to me.  Each morning as I take my children to school (two separate trips/two separate buildings) I pass a friends house that's for sale.  I met this special friend at my ladies Bible Study, and as we moved from one study to another she became more debilitated (she has MS) and this past spring I heard that she was now hospitalized in another city, thus the selling of their home.  I've been praying 8 times a day, as I pass their home, that God would sell it quickly.  You see we live in an area hard-hit by the downslide of the economy and its truly a miracle when a home sells.  One afternoon, last week, as I drove by their house for the 6th or 7th time I noticed a "SOLD" sign! I almost cried as I sang out my praise of Thanksgiving to God for answering my plea for this family!  AWESOME!

Since last fall I've been praying that somehow someway we could get a grill, our "big daddy of all grills" just plain wore-out last fall and we just didn't have any extra $$ to purchase another one so I began to pray (we usually grill year round) and ask God to give us one, used or new, it didn't matter to me.  Last Wednesday Tori and I were biking downtown to the sandbox park (thats what she calls it) for a picnic lunch and as I passed by a home an older gentleman was pulling a gas grill out to the road for the trash.  I quickly asked him if there was anything wrong with it and he responded that it was fine, he had just gotten a new one; I then asked if he would mind if I took it and he promptly pulled it into his yard.  I called Den and within minutes he and Brett came and loaded it into the van!  I can't tell you how excited I was to get this grill and how much we've used it since we brought it home!

Praise God from whom all Blessings Flow!!!

When God responds its a HUGE encouragement, to me, to keep on praying, seeking and asking!
