God Is Listening

My very favorite place on earth is the beach. I love the sand, the crashing waves, and the sea breeze blowing through the palm trees. I love watching the sunrise over the eastern horizon early each morning. I told Vicky yesterday that I really needed a “beach fix”, and tried to reserve a condo for a few days later this week, but had no luck. Part of the reason I want to go now is because this week is a “no chemo” week for me and I will be feeling pretty strong towards the weekend. The longer I progress through these chemo treatments, the less likely I will be strong enough to travel, so I really wanted to capitalize on this window of opportunity. As I was praying this morning, I shared my disappointment with the Lord, but thanked Him anyway for His many blessings and for knowing what is best for me at this time. Shortly after arriving at the office, I received a phone call from a church member offering me their oceanfront condo in Florida for a few days!! How amazing is that? God is not only listening to our prayers, but cares enough to grant us the desires of our heart! He is awesome!

Thanks to God’s provision, and the kindness of a good friend, Vicky and I will attend the last day of our district assembly on Wednesday, then leave very early on Thursday morning for the beach and return home on Saturday. Thanks for your prayers. God is at work! I love you!
