Prayers answered--Day 52

I could tell a friend of mine was close to tears yesterday as she vaguely described how someone had done something very cruel that involved her. She didn't tell me exactly what it was, and I wasn't about to pry, but I told her that I hoped everything worked out for her. Later on, I asked if she was any better. She said she wouldn't be until tomorrow (today) and told me what had happened. It was indeed something very cruel and I understood why she would have to wait to see how things worked out. I told her I had prayed for her, and would continue to do so. She thanked me and said she hadn't prayed so much for as long as she could remember. Based on earlier discussions, I hoped God and I had something to do with that.

She told me today that her prayers had been answered and thanked me for my prayers. I told her that I would continue to pray that her wedding in a couple weeks was a beautiful one and that her and her fiancee would find peace in their hearts. They could both be very angry for what had been done, but I hope that they are able to put this behind them and enjoy the next couple weeks and their upcoming marriage.

I'm also hoping that another friend of mine has his prayers answered as well today. His relationship with his wife has been on very shaky ground after she left him a few weeks ago, but they were getting back together if only for one night. They were to attend a funeral together today, so any more work to their marriage may be difficult for today at least. I pray that one way or another, they become closer than they ever have.

I had a discussion with Dennis and Jennifer today. While talking to them, I noticed how pretty Alexandra is. I noticed how much her eyes looked like Dennis' as he held her. Elliana stood there much of time as we talked with a perpetual smile on her face. Whatever they were doing before I stopped by must've been a lot of fun. One of the things they must've been doing was eating, 'cause Trent soon walked up with what look like a face full of spaghetti sauce. He was smiling as well. Dennis can be seem very intense sometimes, but looking back on it now, it was a very peaceful conversation.

I relayed the info of the conversation with Kim. I asked if she would get baptized next week if it's possible. If she can, I will too. She said she wanted to know more about it first, and I told her as much as I could. I think I made her feel much more comfortable about it, and I am looking forward to becoming a member of our church as soon as the Lord sees fit.
