Sometimes when I pray for things, I think they're too little for God to pay attention to. I think it's sort of a waste of time praying for them and kind of roll my eyes as if to say "yeah, like You've got time for that...feel free to disregard that one".
I asked God that if it were at all possible, to have Nicki's new baby boy come earlier than the Youth Conference weekend (when she's actually due) so that I wouldn't be checking my cellphone every two seconds and worrying about having to take off and leave. And because Jayden was super late, people kept saying that, if anything, she'll be late again. Or right on time. I just hoped that for my sanity's and nerve's sake, she would have him long before the weekend so that I could just enjoy the weekend and not have to leave early.
Answer: Turns out Nicki has gestational diabetes, which means that the baby is getting too big, too fast. It means that they were going to schedule an induction two weeks before her due date. BUT since she had a C-Section with Jayden, they actually have to schedule another C-Section so it's guaranteed that the baby will be born within 2 hours of going into the hospital. So, she's definitely going to be having the baby early!
Today I went into Hamilton to find a book and some supplies for Flipside. On the way home, I wasn't looking forward to the drive on #54 so I mentioned to God that since I'm in no rush, it would be really great if I had a snowplough in front of me to make the drive much smoother than it was coming into town.
I was definitely right behind one the whole way from Caledonia to the road that I'm staying on.
Just a few little answers to little prayers...as though God's trying to show me that He really is listening.
