It was the episode where Mary looses her sight. Her dad is sitting in the chapel praying when the minister walks in. The Pastor sits with Charles as he questions why God isn't answering his prayer. The minister reminds him that God always answers, just not always in the way we desire.<BR/><BR/>God always answers. So glad that His answer to you this time has been the one for which your heart has longed. Praise His Name.<BR/><BR/>Love & prayers,<BR/>JoyJoyfulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00010498759199040612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-44455218481347410802009-01-08T02:52:00.000-08:002009-01-08T02:52:00.000-08:00Oh, Nicole!How I needed these words this morning.Z...Oh, Nicole!<BR/>How I needed these words this morning.<BR/>Zoie is still very sick. I found out yesterday that I need to have the nerves in my back deadened in order to get relief from my back pain. It will take two procedures, with the first being done a week from Friday. We are also in the process of changing ministry, churches and our livelihood.<BR/>I know He answers!<BR/>I just needed to hear it this morning. I have been up since 2:30 worrying, praying, worrying, praying some more, reading His word, praying some more...then i heard Him whisper go read some blogs...I argued this did not make since...but He has used His words through you to break through into my heart. <BR/>I have had faith all along that God can take care of these things...my doubts came in that He would take care of them.<BR/>I now know HE WILL!<BR/><BR/>One of these days we will meet face to face and I am going to hug you so hard your going to wonder if I'm gonna hug right on through ya to the other side!<BR/><BR/>I truly love you my friend,<BR/>PamelaPinkshoeladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13814903238546685727noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-10645103411429031262009-01-07T18:06:00.000-08:002009-01-07T18:06:00.000-08:00All I can say is "AMEN".All I can say is "AMEN".achildofthekinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16431322348633034092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-81286407510485893762009-01-07T06:10:00.000-08:002009-01-07T06:10:00.000-08:00What a blessing to read this, Nichole!

And thank you for how you pray for others, including me! :)<BR/><BR/>Continuing to pray for you! (And totally understanding the staying at a church out of obedience thing. Totally. His encouragement to you is an encouragement to me.)<BR/><BR/>Love you,<BR/>KKimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534550649815409116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-35013066661388410372009-01-06T17:32:00.000-08:002009-01-06T17:32:00.000-08:00How awesome.

Sometimes I think He gets the reputation of not answering because 1) He takes longer or 2) He answers in a way we are not expecting nor looking for and can miss. <BR/><BR/>So glad you are reaping what you sowed in your obedience to Him.<BR/><BR/>Thank you for praying for me. I think I've briefly shared with you about my marriage ending in an unbiblical divorce Nov. 07. I can't believe it's been 18 months since he left and his Christian eyes and heart were deceived satan. I can share in detail via private email but it is a lot. So, I will leave it at this simple explanation but know that I am open to share more of my story privately. <BR/>Sweet blessings,<BR/>PaulaPaula Vhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13948349907036852384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-8151138286957710802009-01-06T08:40:00.000-08:002009-01-06T08:40:00.000-08:00What's so ironic about church is that you want so ...What's so ironic about church is that you want so very much for it to be a perfect environment in which worship, fellowship, discipleship, love--everything is genuine. And it's so very far from that oftentimes.<BR/><BR/>But, you are right in that God is the Restorer. We have freewill to choose another church, but the opportunities to serve HIM (not church, specifically) are then lost. And what if that is the reason He called you to said church?<BR/><BR/>Only through constant prayer, trusting in Him, do we understand where our place is. And, as I have found in my battle with submission, that place is not perfect :-)<BR/><BR/>But, through Christ who gives me strength, it is the right place, and a growth place, and--as you said--an obedience place.Sue J.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08668691234427771146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-8156314734482121592009-01-06T05:54:00.000-08:002009-01-06T05:54:00.000-08:00I too love to see His Holy Hand at work and see th...I too love to see His Holy Hand at work and see those prayers answered--in His timing.

I've spent a great deal of my time today in thoughtful prayer as I drove almost 4 hours round trip to see my doctor for a unscheduled, unplanned appointment. I don't have to tell you what that kind of appointment will do to a heart and mind!<BR/><BR/>Anyway, God's peace has been my portion, and I am comforted by the fact that several friends were lifting my name to heaven this day.<BR/><BR/>Keep praying and living "on purpose." God is working out his in you!<BR/><BR/>peace~elaineelaine @ peace for the journeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09675745465728814736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-54492187629130622162009-01-05T18:11:00.000-08:002009-01-05T18:11:00.000-08:00He does answer, doesn't He Nichole?

It's great to begin to see that He is in the midst of answering even while we are still hitting the bumps in the road, and asking "Are we there yet?" It's glorious to see the outcome of all that He was doing all along. <BR/><BR/>Praising God with you.Ediehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11154092288646304188noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-929543254325457611.post-42245219974316687382009-01-05T16:56:00.000-08:002009-01-05T16:56:00.000-08:00Yay!
