When we listen God answers
When my Uncle passed away on boxing day the lord answered my question about how I would be able to be with my dad during this time. My uncle lives almost 30 hours away and my dad is four hours away from me. When we found out that my uncle was ill and probably wouldn't see the spring my dad and I decided that I would not go with him due to the cost of taking a week off of work and flying to my uncles. The entire week of Christmas I kept praying to the lord to find a way for my dad to not be alone when the call came in about my uncle. Needless to say my dad was at my house when he got the call about his brother and I had the week between Christmas and New Year's already booked off work. So it worked out that I was able to go with my dad. Halfway to my uncles I realized that I was giving up my only week during the year that I get to have for myself but immediatley the lord answered this realization with that for family we make sacrifices. I have grown closer to my family and the lord since this happened.

I loved reading this. It really shows how God is leading and blesses us through our obedience. Thanks for sharing, as it has encouraged me towards obedience and not listening to the voices/messages that always seem to come with choices of obeying God. Can you imagine how you would have felt if you chose to listen to the message of giving up your only vacation, how that seed of bitterness, would have destroyed your vacation and the memory of it or just taken away the blessing you have received. Satan is the destroyer and God the blesser. Thanks again for sharing.
