The Answer Is...



Why is it that when we pray for something specific, when God's answer is yes, we have a tendency to question it...especially if it's something that you have prayed about for a long time, and it's something that you want?

God's plan is to give us the desires of our heart, if we delight in Him. He also tells us that His ways and plans are not the same as ours, and they are much better (of course, I'm paraphrasing here). Given that, who are we to not believe when His answer is yes?

Sometimes His answer is immediately "yes". Sometimes it is "no"...immediately. Other times it is "not right now". I have been in a "not right now" time for a year. I have been praying diligently about a certain thing since last January. Up until now, I haven't gotten a yes. I was beginning to wonder if He would bring me the desire of my heart. Regardless of my desires, ultimately His will is what I want for my life. I pray exactly that...every, single time.

I believe God is answering my prayers. I am having a difficult time wrapping my brain around it, but again, who am I to question? He is giving me the "yes" I have been waiting for. He is faithful. The blessings start now. The praise continues...now and forever.

See the yes as a YES and accept it? Don't mind if I do...

Fool Me Twice...

Yep...it's shame on me.


Play it again? Don't mind if I don't...
