So I just got a call from my Mom and am so pumped about the answer to my prayers just TWO days ago!!
This may seem trivial to some of you but its just an awesome sign of how God cares about even the little things!
I have a HORRIBLE couch. Its over 30 years old, sinks when you sit on it, is too short and just kind of stinks. So my Mom has been trying to find me a couch on craigslist. Tuesday she sent me a picture of a futon she was looking at for me, and I didn't like it, i told her I"d been waiting for awhile and could wait longer for one I liked.
Well with that on my mind I went to bed several hours later and was praying (i pray in bed. quietest place i can find!!) and i was thinking about the couch situation and realized how utterly selfish i had been. My Mom have wanted/needed a new couch for their new room they added on to their house for several years now, but with Dad being downsized they haven't been able to afford one. Here my Mom is needing a new couch, and is putting her wants and needs aside so that I can have one. I felt horrible for being so selfish, my parents are the most giving, selfless people I know. They have sacrificed SO MUCH for me, and now she won't even get herself a new couch because she wants me to have one more. So that night after realizing all of this i spent some SERIOUS time in prayer praying specifically for the couch that I knew my Mom wanted.
Fast Forward to today, two days later. My Mom just called, she and My Dad were heading home with a new (to them!) couch and loveseat that had just come up on craigslist!! She was even able to get the recliner couch part that she wanted!!
I almost screamed in excitement when she told me! I think she was alittle bit taken back by my genuine excitement for her untill I tried to explain it.
But wait, it gets even better! God has doubly blessed us, because she is giving me their old couch, WHICH I LOVE!!!!! and it is perfect for me!!
JESUS IS SOOO COOL!!!
