God Answers Prayers

Well, I do belive that God answers prayers. And I have witnessed it in my own life. On Monday night at Life Group, I requested prayer for my dad. He was scheduled for surgery on Tuesday to have the rest of his toes on his right leg removed. (His bigger toe was removed in October 2006.) My sister and I were rather worried because he has waited 28 years to walk his baby down the aisle.

So, I tried to call him Monday night after group but it was late and I knew the nurses would grumble in the hospital. So I thought I would just call him in the morning. I called him, no answer. Called one of the two hospitals where I thought he would be, still no one knew about his surgery. Finally, I called the other hospital and the nurse told me that his surgery was acutally scheduled for March 31st. So by now, I didn't know whether to yell or laugh. My dad finally called me after I text'd him and said that he had called Jennae and told her and thought she would tell me.

Anyways, this morning he calls me and I could hear the excitement in his voice. He said, " I went to the doctor today for a final check on my foot, and guess what? I dont have to have surgery!" I was almost in tears. I knew my dad didnt want to have to worry about trying to heal before the wedding and was also just scared to have the surgery. I was so excited. He proclaims the he knows that God healed him and it was because of all the prayers that he is in a good place.

The doctor told him it might have to happen in the future but that we are going to believe it doesn't.
