Prayers Answered

Do you feel like sometimes your prayers are stuck in the clouds? Or maybe they somehow flew over God's head? The last couple months have been draining between work issues, finding a church and meeting potential friends. While I can enjoy time alone, I'm not a fan of spending most of my weekends by myself. We were created to want companionship, hence the reason why God created Eve. A couple weeks ago, things all of sudden seemed to turn around.

Berean Bible Church is a place that is filled with loving people and truth with grace. This past Saturday, I went to Friendsgiving at the pastor's house (women only). It was great getting to know the people whom had introduced themselves to me in church as well as new ones I hadn't officially met yet. They were all so welcoming and wanting to introduce me to people who had the same passions or interests that I do. While there aren't many people my age, I've found the ones that are married and in their 30s to be quite fun to talk with. (Most of people at BBC are married or are grandparents). Without my parents around, it's nice to know individuals who have a desire to be Christlike.

A few weeks ago, I went to a women's potluck and craft night with some Deaf, hard-of-hearing and hearing interpreters. I thoroughly enjoyed being able to spend time using ASL, creativity and eating! Three of my favorite things! We made Valentine's Day hearts to put on our doors as you can see below. As some of you can imagine, it's kind of difficult to sign and do a craft at the same time. So only two people actually FINISHED the craft that night. I got mine done the next day and it's now proudly hanging on the apartment door. (The second picture has the felt left over, so if you want to make one, let me know!)

There are days where I'm standing at the bus stop praying, "Lord, I wish I had a car!! I'm freezing!" About a month ago, I met a girl who went to Ithaca College! Then I found out she was there for two of the four years I was there. Then she told me that she's from Massachusetts. She moved to Denver about a year after graduating in 2011. Both of us feel like we've seen each other around since (another fun fact) we both were a part of ALANA, the multicultural organization at IC. If I had a car, I never would have met her! So thank you Lord for not giving me a car!!

Sometimes, it's when we are down on our knees day after day, we realize he has been listening all along. I finally know without a shadow of doubt, Denver where He wants me.
