When God's People Pray

I received a phone call this morning on my cell phone which just said California. I was anticipating it to be a solicitor or telemarketer as it usually is when I get out of state calls on my cell phone. This time it was my favorite radio station which I happened to be listening to at the moment! (Good thing I also answered the phone nicely. Usually when it is a solicitor, I answer pretty rudely.) So, then of course I start thinking I won something. But then of course, I remembered that I would have had to call in to win. So things were happening a little backwards! Then I thought that maybe they didn't get our monthly support check, but then I KNOW Greg is very good about our finances and keeping up with those commitments. So, then why did they call? To ask me if I had any prayer requests. Just out of the blue, they wanted to know if I had any prayer requests. Doesn't that rock?!? (And this is why we will now continue to support KLOVE!) Anyway, I had to think quickly. No one is ill, Greg is employed, we have a house and food on the table. Nothing drastic or life changing that I seem to think people would share with their radio station. But, I did say, "Well, thanks to God for his provision and for the ways he has provided for us. However, clarity for a job for me. I'm trying to figure out if I should go back to work part time next year or stay home, and what that job would be."

So fast forward to about a half hour ago, when my friend Jenny calls. We're having small talk about babysitting, going over to her house tomorrow, and oh yeah, Jenny has news. A school in a suburb close to me is looking for a part-time kindergarten teacher! What's even more amazing is that I was able to use this opportunity to share with Jenny my prayer request to the radio station. And then 15 minutes ago, I got an email from an organization I submitted my resume to for a phone interview tomorrow!

So, thank you KLOVE for your prayers and thank you, Lord Jesus for hearing our prayers and for the clarity you have given! Now, Lord, I pray I wouldn't be so nervous or anxious! AMEN!
