My Prayer was Answered!

Well, my prayer was answered yesterday... It was a simple prayer but none the less, important to me.
Our first Apple Pie Ministry apple pie was delivered to a new visitor/prospective member at Epworth UMC. From start to finish, we have worked hard on these pies and the ministry is such a welcoming, friendly beginning for new people trying to make friends.
So upon completion of the first pie, I began to worry that our new friend Bill might not make it out in all this snow and yucky weather. I didn't want the fruit (pie) of our labor to begin to spoil...that would not make a welcoming gesture-presenting a rotting pie!
So I prayed yesterday. I prayed that God would allow me to deliver this pie without intrusion or too much time delay... (by intrusion I mean taking the pie and my two nutty kids to his house trying to deliver it in haste).
But God responded...he guided Bill to our Wednesday Night Dinner where we were able to safely give him his pie.
This is not the first time my spoken prayer has been responded to, but it definitely was the quickest.
Now, this may not seem like the most profound use of prayer in one's life...but the point is we are opening our lives to God's time line. We worry so much about getting everything done in the shortest amount of time...
God will help us get done what REALLY NEEDS to get done, according to a plan that we know nothing about and a time-frame we can not understand.
And, as a mom with a need to control, stimulate and fill my children's time with activities of all kinds, this idea of "not on my time" is actually comforting. :)
