Answer to Prayer

I owe God a huge apology. I mean I already told him how sorry I was...but I really owe him a big apology. I was really disturbed when I prayed for God to heal me and I felt like he didnt answer me. I got so bold that I went as far as to say God doesnt answer prayers. That was a bold statement right there...not to mention a stupid one. I said I wanted to see God very specifically answer a prayer.....I mean like you pray for something and boom it happened. So heres what happened.....
After I didnt get what I thought I wanted before I made it a point that I would not ask God for anything specifically ever again. But then the pressure came. I had a social worker who was not a very nice person. She was not only racist but she was just plain out right dishonest. It was a very hard pill for me to swallow because she was unkind to my boys...and me. Everytime she was impolite to me....everytime she made a false accusation regarding my boys.....I was nice to her. I was simply and totally nice to her. I didnt engage her in conversations when I didnt have to but I was very polite. And it was hard. I am like Peter in the Bible....I wanted to cut her ear off. It was a very humbling experience for me. But all the while I was being nice to her I was praying and asking God to move her out. To find her another job or whatever he needed to do in order to get her out. And he very specifically did just that. The morning she called to tell us she would no longer be our caseworker I was so happy I cried. She thought I was crying from sadness but it wasnt. God moved her out. I prayed for that to happen and he very specifically did that. I know he doesnt sit up in heaven waiting to take orders from us...he knows what he need and dont need better than we do. But I cant help but be so thankful. God did that for us....he did it so perfectly and completly that he even replaced our former caseworker with a Christian.....a real Christian. I am so thankful.
Foster children go through a variety of caseworkers, therapists, doctors and all kinds of people asking questions and moitoring their progress throughout their journey through the system. If you have a child in your care for any period of time its not uncommon to have a whole team of professionals involved in your childs case. Some of them you get to know rather well after a period of time. And occassionally we run into one that is a born again Christian. When we do I tend to relax a little because I know my kids are in good hands.
