Do you ever think about unanswered prayers? I do at times, or how we are placed in the right place and time for just the right reason.
Once upon a time ago I was engaged to this girl I knew in high school and I was in the Navy. And for whatever reason it didn’t work out, and another way I ended up going out west to the corner of 2nd and Columbia and meet this woman I thought was cute. We ended up moving to Michigan for the summer and then back to Oregon and finally back here to the Great Lakes. why did we end going to the going to the Church of Christ ,Why I wondered at that one point in my life how did this all happen, was it by chance that all this fell into place for Melissa and I. We have had some great times and some not so great times on this ride of life, but still I thinks that God had a plan for me even before I knew him. And if he had this plan for me he must have had a plan for Melissa too, so I had to travel across the many states to find this person who kept bugging me to go to church with her.
My mom and step-dad knew each other as kids their dads worked at the same shop, all these years later they find each other and are now just as happy as one could be. That very plan can confuse me at times, how that some of us fight just to keep what little we might have and yet others seem to have the world at their finger tips, this unwritten plan that only God knows for each and every one of us. Is going to be a mystery right up to the end and someday we will all figure it out when we start the next leg of life in the kingdom of heaven. I must trust in God and wait for him show us the way. be blessed

poignant thoughts today my friend. I have often thought along similar lines. It can be positively dizzying.
I for one am extremely happy that God has brought you into my life.

I have another thought for you too:
What if the prayer was answered, you just didn’t realize or want to accept that the answer was “no?”
