He answered me!

Yesterday morning in church God not only heard me, but He answered me!

I have had so much on my mind lately, with work, stress, my son's health issues etc. I have felt harried and weighed down. So, yesterday morning during church we had a time of prayer, one of the elders came up to the front of the church and prayed and then we all sat in silence praying. During this time, I brought all of my frustrations and worries to the Lord, as I did this I thought about my son and his recent learning problems and my anxiety over picking up his learning disability evaluation this Tuesday, I prayed that the Lord would help me to see His perspective in all of the challenges my son is facing and will face. 

After the prayer time we had some worship and then the pastor went up to the front to begin his teaching. He started off with reading a passage from the Bible and then paused to share with us what God had done in his life. He shared that growing up he had several learning disabilities, and that he had been unable to read all through elementary school and middle school and that he had been in special classes all growing up. As I listened to him speak this, tears began to pour out of my eyes, our pastor is a great speaker and exhibits such passion during his teaching! I would have never guessed that he had any problems with reading or learning!
He said he felt he needed to share this to show what the Lord's power can accomplish in a persons life.

I immediately felt that this was the Lord speaking to me! (it is bringing tears to my eyes even now) All of the sudden I realized that no matter what those learning disability eval results are, my sons life is in God's hands. And in God's hands, there are no limits to what can be accomplished!

Praise God! =)
