Answered Prayer

This morning I had to make an important phone call, but I had a problem - the number I had was not correct. I tried several things, even punching in random extensions, but to no avail. Finally I gave up and just told God, "It's in your hands now. I can't do a thing about it." Not really a prayer request, but more of a giving-up-in-despair request. :)

Immediately the thought came to me to look in the back of an old phone book where we kept special numbers. I was thinking ok, why would we have that number there? but i looked anyway and, to my surprise, there was a number in my Mom's handwriting, albeit a few years old. I tried it and got right through and had no problems doing what I needed to do.

I asked my Mom about the number and she did not even remember writing it there. She even had to get the phone book and look to verify my story after I told her. Coincidence? No! I'd go with Providence! Praise God!
