Unexpected Answers

I am an avid believer in the power of prayer. I have a prayer journal that I write in most every night and pray constantly though out the day. Prayer is my life line.

Over the years I have prayed for many things. Some have been unanswered, some answered with wait, and still others answered immediately. Of course all of the answers come in many different forms. There are times they are answered exactly as I expect, other times they are answered completely opposite of what I have in mind, and still others I don't realize were even answered until way on down the road.Even after so many prayers being answered in my life I still find that many times I am surprised by unexpected answers. One of those unexpected answered occurred last night.

Since I met Jeremy I have known that God is preparing him for something big. I realized early on that God is working in his life in a might way right now. So I have been praying that God would continue to work in his life. That God would draw Jeremy closer to him and let him see the leadership calling that has been placed on his life.

Well God has been answering those prayers. Jeremy and I sat down and had a long conversation last night about what God has been showing him over the last few weeks. In the midst of all that God has been showing him God has also called him to not be in a relationship for now. Which means that as much as Jeremy didn't want too, he broke up with me last night.

Needless to say, this was a very unexpected way for God to answer my prayers. As much as I don't like the decision, I also know that if it is what God wants then it is for the best. I actually have to say that I am very proud of Jeremy, I wouldn't want to be in a relationship with him if he weren't willing to place God above everything else, including me. The problem is that it makes me like him even more!!

So we have decided to continue to get to know each other as friends and we will wait on the Lord and see where he is going to take us from here. What ever happens I know without a shadow of a doubt that God's hand is in it and it will all work for the good. Above all else I want God to be glorified through my life.
