I Wonder If...

I feel like I am all over the map with my thinking and emotions here lately. I am so very thankful that when the Holy Spirit is asked to take over a prayer and to guide and direct it, He does. And it is pretty amazing the things He will show you if you just let Him.
     Let me first say that I feel more confident tonight that God is not through with this prayer.  He has shown us so many amazing things, but He hasn't shown yet how He will do the impossible if we just let Him.
     As I was praying, I was reminded of several things that I have prayed over the course of the last five months and wonder if this delay is God making it possible to answer those things. One thing I have fairly consistently prayed for is that Stephanie and her family would be a part of the kids meeting Tebow. While her son was in school, that would have been a difficult thing to do. Perhaps school needed to be out for Joel for them to be here. I have also prayed regularly that when Tebow comes to visit, his visit would be specifically for my sophomores. I tried to be understanding that if he came to the school, we would have to 'share' him with the rest of the school, so I prayed that his reason for coming would be to spend time specifically with my kids. School is out, my kids won't have to 'share' him with the rest of the school. Ironically, one of my girls said she was glad to meet him in the summer so they wouldn't have to share him with the rest of the school...guess I should have paid closer attention to what she said. I have prayed often for God to show Himself in a mighty way, to really come to life for these kids, to help them understand what He will do for us if we just let Him. Perhaps a meeting during the school year wasn't going to allow God to do all the amazing and impossible things He has planned.
     I could drive myself, God and others nuts speculating why He has waited to answer this. I don't know why, but these are some definite possibilities the Holy Spirit showed me tonight. Whatever His reason, I can more readily accept tonight, He has a grand plan and  that I just need to trust Him...which could be another possibility... :)
