I'm sure many of you have heard Garth Brook's song "Unanswered Prayers". This morning, I was scrolling through my facebook news feed thinking, what would my life be like if God had answered every prayer. And then I immediately thought, Thank you God for not answering every prayer!!!! (I feel the need to add a few rows of exclaimation points, but I won't do that.) The first thing I remember really praying about was "God, please don't let my parents move me to Danville. I don't want to go there. All my friends are in Lincoln and I love it here." Wow...I am SO thankful for my move to Danville. I met my husband here, I have best friends that are amazing and can't imagine my life without, I have the most wonderful little boy. These things would never have taken place if God had answered the above prayer.
Then I think about the prayers over crushes. Now, I know I am not alone in this one. There have to be other people out there who prayed the prayer "Please, just let them like me. I want to go out with him." hehe...it makes me giggle a little to think about. Thank God that He didn't answer those prayers, because who knows where I would be. Instead, he placed a boy on my dad's football team that my dad liked, and he introduced us. Thank God.
The past couple of weeks, months have been stressful for Brock and I. Trying to move, living with my parents. Although we are forever grateful for being able to stay with them, it's hard to move back in. Getting into a routine and everything. Tomorrow, we close on our house. It has been a struggle. I have cried and prayed and yelled. Sometimes at Brock, sometimes at myself, sometimes to random people when I'm driving in the car :), but thank God that He allowed us to get to this point.
