God answers prayers

This morning I prayed about two very specific things...
1. That I would not stress about money. The money my oldest son needs for college in September. The money my younger son needs for a Conference in Chicago for August.

2. That my heart and mind would be open to God doing amazing things through signs and wonders.


Not 2 hours after I prayed I received a phone call. Back story... we bought a turkey for Christmas from the farmer's market and then the farm had some problems and we never got the turkey or our money back. When I had tried to phone this farm their phone was out of order. I had just assumed we had donated the money and was not really expecting it back.
The person on the other end of the phone was the lady we had bought the turkey from, telling me that they were indeed going to return our money and needed our address.

I could say this was coincidence, or I could acknowledge that God controls all things and was letting me know that He will take care of all our needs. The money from the turkey will not cover any of these expenses but it was like God rest His hand on my shoulder and letting me know that He heard me and I was to not worry, He was on it.

After praying I spent some time reading my bible and was reading in Exodus. I was reading the part about the Israelites crossing the Red Sea and how after they had saw God's power they believed in Him. They put their trust in Him. They had to see His power. Would we be any different?
This just confirm my searching about signs and wonders and that God is in it. He is faithful to those who seek.
