Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe you have received it, and it will be yours. Mk. 11:24
During our recent trip to BC I had a trip to the dentist. It was an EXPENSIVE trip to the dentist! The bill was around $2400. Let me back up…We have had an expensive August..completing a reno on our carriage house that used up all our available finances and then some…So when I told Gary the cost he kind of choked a bit!! I felt bad.
Then I remembered something. I am not an orphan…I have a father who is very creative with resources. On the way home to the friends we were staying with I just prayed in the car ” O Lord please send us money to cover the dental work.” I didn’t pray with a lot of faith…I think it would be just hope that I prayed with. I had no ideas as to where that kind of money could come from….. I just needed help.
That night when we arrived our friends’ place they told us they had just been given an early inheritance and they would like to share some of it with us. Guess how much the checque was for? Exactly the amount that we needed! They had no idea we had a need, it was the prompting of our God. I was a little shell shocked that whole evening!
Thanks be to God who goes beyond what we even ask for or think!

Oh Joy-this made me smile-not just the picture and the great story but also because it reminded me of all those times we prayed on a
Thursday morning for provision for the Church and how creatively God answered every time. Bless you and thank you for this blog.

What an awesome story! Since we have the same Father, we have a few of those stories too. Keep telling his wonderful deeds to the next generation! Bless you, Joy!
