Answered Prayer

As you may know, I am speaking (God-willing) at the Embrace: Worship for Women on November 12th. I have been praying and praying about what God wants me to speak on specifically! So, I emailed this prayer request to a friend 2 days ago!

Dear Yvonne,
I need to have a purpose for whatever I'm saying...please pray for me to have discernment... I really don't want to miss God's mark, and I'm in total reliance on Him! Pray that I don't keep asking him and that I just wait on Him so that I don't speak over His voice.

I desire perfect clarity!!! I cannot do this on my own! And I love it...but it takes some major patience, trust and quiet on my part!
Thanks for praying!

So, as I continued to pray, I just still haven't heard anything! I have been focused on organizing the house, getting rid of stuff and trying to make more room in our modest 900 square foot house. There just isn't alot of storage... so I'm making room! This is good for me, because I often hear God when I'm doing mundane tasks such as these. But, yesterday I ended up being on the phone with my little brother for much of the morning, and therefore, wasn't very quiet.

I packed up the Trailblazer preparing to take it to the Salvation Army, grabbed my camera to take a picture of the full SUV so Jon could see that I really did get rid of a lot of stuff! I proudly closed the door behind me, and went to get in the car. "Where are my keys?" I thought to myself. I peeked in the window and there they were, on the countertop.

Well- prayer answered. I got some quiet time. I set up a chair outback and propped up my feet for probably about 2 hours, and I sat still. I prayed. I still don't know what I'm going to talk about, but I was able to pray for Embrace, for the people involved, and the guests coming. I was able to unload all of it. So, now...I'm just waiting on Him. And he said to me,

"Son of man, listen carefully and take to heart all the words I speak to you. Ezekial 3:10

Dear Lord
Help me to listen carefully and take to heart Your words. Help me to discern Your voice and fulfill Your will!
In Jesus' name. Amen.

Thanks for praying Yvonne!
