The Grand Adventure

In my quiet time yesterday I had been praying that God would teach me patience with others and that he would reveal himself in a totally new way…

The Lord has heard my supplication, the Lord receives my prayer.

Psalms 6:9   

So I took Andrea out last night on a date, I picked up a pizza from Spin and got some bottled root beer and took her to Heritage Park where we ate on a bench by the lake and then watched the sun set (I hope you’re all just tearing up at how precious this is lol). I was dropping her off at the church so she could drive home and she could not find her keys. Now I get pretty annoyed when people can’t find things and I decided it was her problem so she can look for them (now ya’ll think I’m a jerk lol). Well after about 10 minutes I decided to get out and look under my hood (we couldn’t find them anywhere and we were getting desperate) so I got out of the car and just as I was about to open the hood I saw the keys in my hand. I got out of the car with nothing in my hands as far as I know. At first I was really freaked out and Andrea thought I just played a really mean joke on her but then she realized I had no idea how they got in hand. 

I don’t know whether or not I had them the whole time or if God performed some kind of miracle right then and there  but whatever the methods he used I learned a very valuable lesson. I learned that you need to help people always because you might have the key to fix their problem, it’s a fairly good pun but in all seriousness you just might. Also you need to be patient with people because you might be the one causing the issue. Again I have no idea about the methods that God provided this by but then end result is that I had the keys. Also this was one of the most tangible lessons I’ve been taught, God revealed himself in a whole new way to me.

Also when I opened My Utmost for His Highest today’s lesson title was Keep Recognizing Jesus… There is no way I can write this off as some sort of freak accident. Yesterday when I read it after I was struggling with being patient with another person the title was Beware of Criticizing Others… God works in so many ways…  

If this doesn’t show the power of prayer and how God works then I don’t know what will. 

I leave for Arlington Texas with the Switch group tomorrow please be praying for us for
