IN MY WORDS – God cares about every detail of our lives. I never hesitate to pray about small or large things.I had been praying all summer to find someone reputable and affordable to clip our way-out-of-control privacy hedges. Yeah, they gave much privacy because you could barely find the front yard through the dense, overgrown, 7 feet high or more hedges.

I came across a business card and noticed the address was local, as in – on our same country road. We called, connected, they came, they conquered and lo and behold the hedges now fit our lovely household : ) It turns out the neighbor three houses up from us has a landscaping service. Who knew? Well, God did. They did a marvelous job and were affordable, nothing like other estimates we had received. 

The second prayer this summer was to find a window screen we had been missing for a few years. We looked everywhere but couldn’t seem to locate it. Very puzzling. Clever husband went through all the screens and pulled one out that we kept overlooking, thinking it was the wrong size. And yep, it fit. Problem solved. I found it interesting that what we had been looking for in both cases was…right in front of us. Hedge solution, three doors down. Screen solution, right where it was supposed to be. But we kept missing it. Till God brought it to our attention.

Hmm…what else are we missing in God’s plan that is directly in front of us? I can’t wait to find out!

Have you had a prayer answered lately that surprised you?
