So my revelation this week was really cool....
I was driving to work (which has been really tough lately) and on KSBJ, they shared a story of a woman who was having a really tough season in her life and on her way home was praying and just said, God I need a hug. When she got out of her car, her son came up to her and said Mom I just have to give you a hug, and she knew that God had answered her prayer.
Well I was sitting in really bad traffic trying to make it to work...I had been late that past two mornings due to unexpected traffic issues. I turned the radio down and just desperately prayed...God, you know that work is hard for me and I know you are taking care of it, but this morning, could you please just get me there? Just get me there...While I was praying a missed a turn that I needed to take. When I finally got back on course, I looked down the street I should have already been on and it was backed up as far as I could see! If I hadn't missed my turn, I would have been extremely late that morning. Instead I actually got to work 10 minutes early! A song came on the radio and there is a line that says "I stand in awe of every mountain that you move." That morning, my mountain was traffic. And God was so faithful to me in taking care of it for me.
I actually wrote an e-mail to the KSBJ DJs when I got to work and shared my story and they shared my e-mail on the air!
Application Thought: We all have mountains to over come in our lives at one time or another. Traffic, hard jobs, trouble in your marriage, money issues...there is no denying that we have mountains to climb. Remember the scripture that says that faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains. God is in tuned with your every need. Even when your faith seems like its run out (believe me I've been there), God hears your prayers and is working things out. Cry out to Jesus when you have mountains to climb. Even when your strength has run out, he will carry you.
Psalm 116:1--
"I love the Lord, for he heard my voice; he heard my cry for mercy."

Ok, I think I'm emotional today cuz this made me tear up. How cool to see God answer prayers so tangibly and quickly. I'm in a season of waiting on God and so to hear your immediate answer is so encouraging! And I'm so glad you are stopping to process and write about it. So many times, we miss what God does because we quickly move right past it without acknowledging it. Now you have something to look back on to remember his faithfulness!
