I have been praying for our country more ever since Pastor said a few weeks ago that he believes that revival is coming and God is going to pour out His Spirit on our country. My heart and thoughts have really been drawn to this a lot lately.

I keep reading all of your blogs and hearing people in our class talking, growing. In my life I am growing probably more in this past year than any other so far. God is revealing Himself, a lot. I know that if it is so prevalent here that it is happening all over this country.

I think that He is preparing us all. Getting us where He wants us. Strengthening us so that we can help carry out His plan for our country. I am sure this has been going on long before I ever came around, but I think that I might actually get to have a very small part in this. It is just such an amazing revelation to me I had to share it.

We were driving to the lake listening to the radio. I was looking out for deer like I usually do on this drive, but it was late and unlikely that I would see any. We were coming to the end of our three and a half hour drive. I was talking to God and trying to have faith. I have had a lot of questions lately and prayers that I haven't seemed to get any answers to. I told God that I just needed to know if He was listening. I asked Him to show me a deer if He was. Within twenty seconds we rounded a turn and saw a momma and two babies on the side of the road. My eyes filled with tears and my heart with gratitude. It was just what I needed.

That night I told Matt what happened. We both laughed that maybe He was also telling us that we would get our twins. I have thought of that almost everyday since and every time it reminds me that God loves me so much and that He loves to show me in ways that are just for me. Also, I have wondered if the twin things was just us or was God showing me that we would really have them.

Tonight on my way home I decided to ask Him. I was a little afraid of His answer, would it be the one I desired? I asked Him that if we were to have twins this month and that is what my deer meant if He would show me another momma and two babies. I peered out of the window, drove fairly slow, and hoped with all my heart. I was coming to the end of Lion's Den road and I told God that it didn't matter I believed anyway. I started to praise Him, more for my need of comfort really.

Then, out of the corner of my eye I saw them. I pulled the car to the shoulder and tried to angle the headlights. YES!!! It was my deer walking into the trees. Once again He told me He loved me and that He does hear me and loves to answer my prayers. What an amazing night.
