I know God answers prayers. I've never seen the Red Sea part and walk through on dry ground, my prayers are usually much smaller - except for asking for Andrew's life one cold Utah night.... but that is a totally different story.
So Yesterday I took Sheila with Rachel and Baylee to school and had a nice long walk with Laura Nausin and we decided to go look at dishwashers. So I bring back the dog and go to leave with Laura and I can't find my keys. (This is NOT an unexpected thing as I misplace keys regularly) So after searching and hunting for half an hour I leave for the day with Laura and get back about an hour before the children get back from school.
Now I am an expert at finding things. I know how to lose things and find things. I searched for about an hour and KNEW those keys were not in the house. Having gone over every spec of sideboard, floor, cupboard and drawer that they could possibly be in, I thought back and remembered giving Sheila water when I got home, so I went outside. Ahh if they were out here (which they had to be) she had taken them away in whichever corner, hole, long grass pile, tree, or bush she had randomly dropped them at. The task was daunting so I prayed and finally gave up to walk Rachel back home (since I wasn't going to be driving her). I realized I wasn't going to get the keys unless God told Sheila to bring them back. So I prayed for that and went back outside. After more frustration I came in and cooled down and explained to Rachel why I was
Every time I feel the teethmarks in the slip-on on those keys I think about how powerful the faith of a child is and how grateful I am that God answers all the prayers for the little things.
