He Answered

Day 313 of Photo Inspirations — He Answered
Of course these Baby Shower cookies, inscripted with “He Answered” would be my photo inspiration for today. “He answered” doesn’t mean the wife called and her husband answered. It means they called on God and He answered.

The 2nd photo is of two precious women in my Life Group, Paula Hieronymus Vaughn and Shelly Been Summers, best friends, and related by the fact that Paula’s son, is married to Shelly’s daughter. There is nothing like praying mamas and these two mamas, along with our Life Group, have been praying AND believing for their kids to conceive for quite some time. We take our prayer requests/petitions very seriously in this group.

We come together weekly and are thrilled to hear praises of “Look what God has done”, but we are also thrilled to provide a safe place to share each other’s needs, prayer requests and what’s on each other’s hearts — to pray and believe with each other for those things that are beyond human intervention…..they need divine intervention.

This 2nd photo, was taken at our Life Group meeting when these two found out their kids were indeed expecting. They came, with that yummy cake with pink & blue diaper pins on it, to surprise us and to celebrate their good news. We kept it quiet (oh how we wanted to shout to the world on Facebook that “He Answered” then, but we were sworn to secrecy until the “All Systems Go” signal). After four years of trying to conceive, their kids were still cautious about broadcasting their exciting news to the world.

A precious little girl will make her debut in January and, yesterday, I was thrilled to help host the celebration shower at my Hyde Park clubhouse. I was so inspired by these cookies to say to you….”HE ANSWERS” for you, too! God is no respector of persons so why not take this little blog as all you need to help you believe for your miracle….whether it’s a baby, a new job, a financial blessing, a healing, or a breakthrough of any kind.

Yes, there were snags along the way and disappointment after disappointment, but these two women, and a lot of others who joined the ranks of praying for them, are seeing the rewards of those prayers today. It doesn’t matter whether you’ve been believing for 10 minutes, 10 months or 10 years, our God’s timeline is right on time. He sees the beginning, the middle, and the ending. He sees and knows the seed planting…..time…..then harvest. Seed time and harvest.

I spoke to Paula after the shower today, and I reminded her that their victory is our victory, too. Today’s declaration “He Answered” is way beyond their family. It is for you AND me. I take hold of it. I know it’s true, because “He Answered” for me time and time again. Don’t give up.
