Since becoming a Christian I have always heard that God often answers prayer in a way that is entirely different than you expected. I have never had any experience with this up until last week. Actually I can’t say that God ever answered one of my prayers in a way that I recognized. Mind you it’s not surprising given my hap hazard prayer life.
The last few weeks have been different. I can’t say that my actual voiced prayers were any better [I suppose that doesn’t matter though. It’s not like prayer is some kind of magic system to get what you want], but my heart was really in it. My primary client Motel 6 has been starting to come back to life after a summer of no work, and I really did not want to do it again. I’ve spent the summer working on “real” projects and I’ve come to realize I really like Architecture. I love building sections and details in particular, but plans and elevations are good too.
I was very upset about Motel 6 and I was praying to God for deliverance. As I said not very focused prayer, but my heart was aching for this. In my mind [hope my partners don’t read this one] the only deliverance was finding a new job. A daunting task in this economy, but I thought with God’s help anything is possible. Then last Monday God delivered me without having to change jobs. The vice president in charge of our projects at Motel 6 decided that he wanted the woman that does the permitting for us to be the primary contact with Motel 6. So while I will still be working on Motel 6 it won’t be nearly as consuming as it has been. Thanks be to God!
