thank you for the rain.

sometime last week Sean bought a book for one of his classes. when he went to do his homework, the book was nowhere to be found. he tore the house apart looking for it. he looked in the cars multiple times. he searched the office high and low. this went on for about 3 days. last night was our last attempt to find the dang book. he needed it for a test tomorrow, so if we couldn't find it we had to spend another $100.00 for a new book. we searched the house, cars & office once more. sean was extremely frustrated that we still couldn't find it anywhere. after i searched under the bed in our guest room for the 3rd time, i stayed on my knees and said a quick prayer. i told Him that we couldn't afford to spend $100.00 on a new book and asked Him to please help us find it. we still couldn't find it.

this morning on our way to work, i kept thinking "wow, i can't believe He didn't answer my prayer". i wasn't upset or anything. i just kept wondering why. as we got out of the car, i asked sean to find the umbrella that we keep in the car. it was raining and i didn't want my hair to be ruined :) he reached under the front seat and LO AND BEHOLD... he found the book. there it was. right under the seat he had looked under 3 or 4 times in the past days.

so this morning i am thankful for a Heavenly Father who loves me and answers my small, insignificant prayers. and i am thankful for the rain.
