Answers to unspoken prayers

Life has been a little more difficult for me lately. Small things have been making a bigger impact and I feel myself slipping closer and closer to unhappiness everyday. I decided a few days ago to DO something about it. Super Boy and I did a little exercise and then I went up to the mountains with my sister and with Butterfly Fairy. It was nice to have a little break from all the crazy stuff of life. But Sunday morning when a child woke up sick and Super Man really wanted us all to still go to church I lost it. I usually don't yell at my husband, but he got yelled at, and then a door slammed in his face. Not my finest hour.  I felt horrible right after and did it, but still a little bit justified. The last place I wanted to go was to church, but because I stayed home the week before sick, off I went, with my three other littles to church. It is only about a 5 minute drive to our church building, I almost turned around twice.  We walked in the building and we found our usually place to sit. I was getting the kids situated and felt a light tap on my shoulder. There stood a wonderful friend who used to live right up the street from me. I hadn't seen her in a few months and I was  SOOOO glad to see her. She was child free! So I invited her to sit by me and it was wonderful to sit and chat before church. It soothed my heart!  Her husband was speaking and it seemed like his talk was written just for me that day. Most of all I felt the hand of God in my life that day, that He knew me enough to know what I needed without me even having to ask.  I was very filled that day.
