Answered Prayers

Yesterday God answered the prayers of two women, and I was one of them.

It goes like this:
A couple of nights ago, while DH and I were praying before going to sleep, I prayed that God would bring a family that needed a home to our rent house. The next day we got a call from a man with a wife and adult daughter who said they needed a place to go by this weekend. We made an appointment to show him the house at 3pm yesterday.

Then yesterday, DH got a call from a woman who lives with her husband and three children in a two bedroom apartment, and she told him that she wanted the house, but she couldn't move in until September 1. She was willing to give us the deposit on the spot if we would hold it for her. DH explained to her that we had an appointment to show it, and if they took it we would have to give it to them instead of holding it. She responded with "I'll be praying." They agreed that she would meet us at 3:30 and lease the house if the man at 3pm didn't.

So DH & I met after work at the house, and at 3:05 we got a call from the man. He explained that he needed to work on his car, and he would call back if he was still interested in seeing the house. DH told him that we had another interested party and it may not be available later. Immediately after getting off the phone with him, DH called the lady and left her a message saying, "Well, you said you'd be praying, and our 3pm cancelled!"

She arrived on the doorstep 5 minutes later saying that she'd been praying since she got off the phone with DH. She looked through the house, then pulled the deposit out of her purse and signed the papers.

It is amazing to see God answering our prayers. He brought me exactly what I asked for, someone who really needed the house, and also answered her prayers, and I'm sure that it will all work out for the best for the man too. Maybe he would have been in a terrible accident if he hadn't experienced the car trouble.

All I can say is GOD IS SO GOOD.
