Answered prayer??

Question: Do I take the job in Woodland Park starting Monday?


Answer :
Last night, Thursday 6/14, I was playing softball for our church league (Woodland Park Nazarene Church) and got injured. I hit a nice shot into center field and ran like crazy to first base, but didn't make it. I felt a pop and experienced the "roll-up blind" effect to my right quadriceps muscle. I fell instantly and had to be helped off the field. This was approx. 9:30pm. I did not leave the hospital until 3am. The result is still not clear - the assessment from the ER was a torn quad. I have an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon next Thursday which will reveal the extent of the damage.

Answer to prayer? Yep. I believe it with all my heart. I began to doubt God on whether or not I should've quit my last job - He confirmed that it was OK last night.

I took this past week to go deeper in my relationship with Jesus, but I was struggling trying to adapt to the quietness...my desire was there, but I felt I was getting nowhere. A great brother in the Lord prayed with me before I was taken to the hospital - he said "I believe that God is trying to tell you, Be still and know that I AM GOD." I broke down and cried. Whatever it takes Lord! I am willing to follow You! If I am incapable of finding quiet time, please get me to that place and draw me right up next to You!

I don't take this as a physical injury, it was my Spiritual Assurance of God's presence with me. I give Him all my praise for my pain & for showing Himself to me. My stength is insufficient in all areas of my life without You Lord! Help me to shed my pride and lean on You as my Father.

Be Disciples.
