Divine Intervention

*Disclaimer...this post is NOT in any way a reflection of anything I have done, but merely an example of how God places people in our hearts and minds when they need our prayers the most.

The news of Julee's husband's death quickly brought to mind my sweet friend A.  A actually baby-sat me when I was a kid, and then I kept her kids and her sister's kids.  They were all in my wedding, and are still special kids to me.  My senior year in high school, A's husband was tragically killed in a roping accident on Halloween, just 10 days after their sweet baby G was born.  This time of year, my heart is always heavy for her.  That being said, anytime the Lord brings her to my mind, I try to be faithful to pray for her.  I text her today to tell both of her kids Happy Birthday (their birthdays were yesterday and today) and to let her know I had been thinking of them and praying for them the last two weeks and when she text me back she told me that her new husband's father passed away last Sunday from a heart attack.  I am so sad for their family b/c her kids loved their granddad and A was very close to his dad.  At the same time, I am thankful that God has burdened my heart for them these last two weeks and that I have been unknowingly praying for a grieving family. 

Since the twins were born, I have struggled with my walk with the Lord.  I struggle to find time for a quiet time, let alone time to truly dive deep into His word.  The sermon this morning and now this incident have both been great reminders/comforts to me, to know that even though my walk isn't where I want it to be/know it should be, God still blesses the lives of those who are faithful to him.
