Answered prayer ... God is Real
I never did have any doubts of God being real, but for those who might, this story is for you.
I was a teacher and loved what I did. But through a series of illnesses and surgeries, I had to quit being a teacher. My son wanted me to move two states south to be with his family, but I would miss my friends and significant other. It was a difficult decision to make and one not to make lightly at my age with possible limitations. I also had to contend with a house to try to sell in a market that was not easy to sell, not to mention keeping a house pristine while I was getting over surgeries.
Didn't know what to do, so I prayed. I put off making a decision until God could give me an answer. And it came one day. Like a lightning bolt. I was in a neighborhood Kinko's where a young man and his girlfriend were asking the clerk to bind copies of the papers he had run off to make booklets for a University Class he had that evening. The clerk said the binding of the booklets would cost him $100. The young man didn't have the $100.
I interrupted and said I had a binding machine and could bind them for him and didn't live far. They followed me home. I bound the booklets. They loved my house. While I bound the booklets, they looked at the rest of the house and I jokingly said, I might be selling it. They said they were looking at houses but haven't found any they liked, but liked mine. I told them I had another surgery coming up and recuperation would be 4 months before I could seriously consider selling. That turned into 6 months. They bought the house without a real estate agent.
I moved to Tennessee and am now an active grandmother of three grandsons. God knew the right decision and let me know.
