This reminds me of the story of the guy in a flood. He's sitting on his roof and the water is rising. A boat comes by to rescue him and he says, "No, God will save me!" This happens a couple more times until his house is completely under water and he drowns. He goes to Heaven and asks God, "Lord, why did you not save me?" God answered him, "I sent 3 boats and you turned them all away." You're right, God can answer prayers in a way that may not be what we had in mind. He also works through other people or gives us something else that turns out to be better for us than what we originally asked for. Now if we would just get out of our own way... :)

Another great post sister, We have to remain open to the opportunity and not judge how it shows up in our life. Humility is critical to keeping open to see the opportunities. Especially when Chaos is rolling behind you like a tornado. Great article Much Love and Hugs... Peace...
