God Answers Prayers

God still answers prayers. Not that I didn't already know that, but yesterday blew me away when He quickly answered what was probably a very minor need, but a need none-the-less.

When Thursday's accident happened, I had to pull out my insurance card, registration & license for the police officer. In the chaos of it all, I stuck them all back in my bag - but not in my wallet. Yesterday was the first day I had time - and the thought - to go put those important documents away. And my license was missing! I looked everywhere and began to panic. The soonest I'd be able to get a new one was Friday. And after my week of feeling much like King Midas' alter ego - destroying most things I touch, I didn't want to go that long without it.

So I said a prayer that God would somehow miraculously make it appear soon.

Well, trusting God and not trying not to worry about the license in the midst of all the other things to take care of yesterday, I forgot about that prayer for a while. Until I opened the mail.

There was a letter from the Spartanburg Athletic Club, hand addressed to me. Junk mail. I almost threw it out. But I opened it for some reason. In it was a sweet letter from an employee who said a member had found my license in the parking lot. And she enclosed my drivers license. Talk about a knock up-side the head. My immediate thought was THANK YOU, GOD! He really did make it miraculously appear :)

I've never been to that athletic club. I haven't been down any of the roads nearby either. It's 2 miles from the scene of my accident. So how'd my license get in their parking lot???? I don't know. But I know God knows and He cares, too. He took care of a little stresser and in doing so, reminded me that He's taking care of the bigger stresses we are dealing with at the moment, too.

So I may be having one of the worst weeks in a long while. But God is watching over me and my family. He'll take care of us; He'll provide for us. I need to keep trusting Him, stop worrying and stressing and let Him wow me again and again when I get to see His hand at work.
