I've witnessed some miracles in my life. People might say that it's
silly to consider this a miracle but I still do.
When I was going to college I lived in a small one-bedroom home on my
grandparents' property in Florida. There was a lake on the property,
and the view of the lake from the field was always enjoyable. It was a
small lake, but grandpa always said that it was spring-fed.
The little house had been built so that the sliding-glass doors in the
back had a good view across the field of the lake. But people that had
lived in the little house put a shed back there, and lots of trees and
vines grew up and around the shed so that the view of the lake was
almost completely blocked.
While I lived in the little house my grandmother would always comment
about how she wished that I could have a better view of the lake.
Looking back on it I think she might have been hinting really hard for
me to do the work of cleaning the shed out and getting rid of it, but
I was going to college 90 minutes away, working a lot hours, and
seeing my girlfriend. So I just didn't make any time to do any
cleaning or moving.
But I did pray about it. I prayed several times that the shed would be
moved. I prayed for me to have a better view of the lake so Grandma
would be happy. I prayed.
One afternoon a really big storm blew through while I was at work. Dad
told me that the storm was terrible and that it had sounded like there
was a tornado closeby. My parents and grandparents were often
concerned about tornados because of the all the trailers on nearby
property and they were concerned about what would happen if tornado
touched down and destroyed the homes in the area.
When I got home after work that night I discovered that the shed was
gone! Whatever else the storm had done the shed had been blown away
completely. Grandpa said he had never seen anything like this. My dad
said it was amazing.
But at some point I realized what I had prayed and that this was an
answer to my prayer. A miracle had happened!
I love it when we can find evidence that God answers prayers. I firmly
believe this was a case of answered prayer. Woohoo!
