God really answers prayers.
Read by Zoe Cochran.
We can make our plans, but the Lord determines our steps.
Proverbs chapter 16, verse nine.
Literature evangelist, Wendy Kent and her husband, Phil recently had to
make a trip to Toowoomba Queensland.
He had some appointments there.
And when do you needed to catch up with some of her customers?
As they plan their trip, they decided to stay with one of their friends
who was also a literature evangelist.
Unfortunately the night before they were due to leave the friend
rang and apologized saying that they would be unable to host Wendy
and Phil as originally planned.
Left with no alternative accommodation, Wendy and Phil decided to stay in a motel.
Knowing that this would cost more money than they'd budgeted for the trip.
Wendy quietly prayed that God would help us sell some
books to cover the extra cost.
When Phil and windy, checked into the motel.
There met the hotel manager, whose name was Tamsen.
She seemed open and friendly and Wendy thought it would be a good
idea to show Tamsen her books, but she didn't want to appear pushy.
So she prayed and asked God for an opportunity to speak with Tamsen.
As the days passed our days were full and busy said, Wendy.
Consequently, I forgot about my plea to God, but he didn't.
On the last morning in Toowoomba, Phil went out to his final appointments.
Thinking that the couple had left together terms and entered the room.
I got frightened by her unexpected entrance noted Wendy terms and
went red with embarrassment.
She apologized, but I invited her in and told her not to worry.
I remember my prayer to God and knew that this was the
opportunity that I had prayed for.
As Wendy showed Tamsen her books, Tams and fell in love with them immediately.
She eagerly purchased several books and mentioned that she was
interested in natural healing.
I thought of God, knowing that all healing comes from him, said, Wendy,
So I left her with a copy of steps to Christ and most precious book.
Terms and later sent an email to Wendy, which said, thank you
again for selling me the books.
I love them.
Please stay in touch.
I want to look at more books like this.
I praised God for his answer to my prayer said, Wendy, Phil.
And I thought our plans had been disrupted, but later realized
that it was always God's plan for us to stay in that motel.
