God Answered My Prayer

God answered my prayer...

About 6 weeks ago I was talking with Him.... just sharing a heart full of gratitude.

I told Him that because I missed Him for the first half of my life, maybe... if He would allow it... I could live another 46 years and give Him the second half in full.

Age 92 would be the goal.

And then I asked Him for something simple... that if anything physical ever tried to sneak up on me, He would let me see it... early... so I could face it and not be caught off guard.

I felt completely fine when we were having that chat....

Two weeks later my check engine light came on.

Things started happening that were not normal and for the first time in years, I went to a doctor. I remember standing there looking at that little sugar testing thingy showing 396, not even knowing if that number was high or low. Then came the bloodwork... an A1C of 11... and a conversation about insulin.

And all I could think about was that prayer.

I asked the Dr. if he was spiritual. He said yes. Then we talked about Christ and how a relationship with Him is life changing. I told him this meeting was an answer to my prayers, that I was not concerned and that I wouldn't be wearing any diagnosis labels for at least 3 months while God works His miracle.

Needless to say, everything changed for me in that moment. With my wife helping, I reset my life that day. The way I eat, the way I move, the way I pay attention to my body. It hasn't been easy... but there is something deeper holding me steady through it.

Not fear nor concern...

Only peace and an internal knowing. My God is holding it all in His hands in the most perfect of ways..

I don't see this as something that came out of nowhere. I see a God who heard me... and loved me enough not to let something hidden stay hidden.

He didn't ignore the request... He answered it, right on time, in a way I could recognize.

I've never been more aware of my spiritual life... and now, He's brought my physical life into that same awareness.

And I'm grateful. My cup runneth over.
