I eventually found the right people to help me, and it all fell into place. It\u2019s \u201cdone and dusted\u201d as they say! I&#8217;m not a dancer, but I felt like dancing. I did walk around the house saying &#8220;hallelujah, thank You Jesus&#8221; over and over again. Seeing these two difficult things get worked out definitely boosted my faith to trust Him for other things I was working on, too!<\/p>\n<p>I definitely saw the Lord&#8217;s hand at work.\u00a0He uses the hard times, the difficult times to help us grow.\u00a0As we reach out to Him, trust Him, ask for the impossible&#8230;He finds a way through the hard situations. I definitely saw that in these two situations. I am so grateful.<\/p>\n<p>During the years that Floyd was hospitalized, I would stand by his bed and remind him that even though he was in a season of silence, his &#8220;voice&#8221; was still being heard.\u00a0I would share testimonies of that with him.\u00a0Sometimes he shed a few tears.\u00a0Other times he gently smiled.\u00a0Often he just listened intently and would try to make sounds to speak.\u00a0I know it encouraged him\u2014and it was true.\u00a0His &#8220;voice&#8221; of things he had ministered was ongoing.<\/p>\n<p>Mary Ho, our All Nations International Executive leader, recently visited Malawi.\u00a0Several of the leaders there mentioned how Floyd had mentored them, and they were carrying on with what he had taught them.\u00a0It was so encouraging to hear this and reminded me again that Floyd&#8217;s &#8220;voice&#8221; is still being heard.\u00a0I wish I could tell Floyd about it!<\/p>\n<p>These answers to prayer and testimonies speak loud and clear to me of God&#8217;s goodness and faithfulness.\u00a0I was reminded afresh that sometimes the answers to our prayers take time. We can&#8217;t give up hope if we don&#8217;t see immediate answers.\u00a0I wish we could see all the ways God is working to answer our prayers.\u00a0I think we would be amazed!<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;He is the Rock; His deeds are perfect.\u00a0 Everything He does is just and fair.\u00a0 He is a faithful God who does no wrong; how just and upright He is&#8221;<\/em>\u00a0(Deuteronomy 32:4)!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Lord, even though it sometimes takes a while to accomplish Your purposes, You are always working on our behalf. Help us be patient and watchful.\u00a0You are mindful of every prayer we pray! Thank You, Lord.
