Answered Prayer: Canon 5D Mark II

On December 5th, Christian Photo in Des Moines was having Canon Days.  I took the day off of work and met Elly and we both headed over there.  I really wanted to see the new Canon 5D and also shoot with a couple of lenses to see which ones I'd really like to have.  Well, I loved the camera and had them put my name down on the waiting list... added to the others.  A few days later, I contacted Samys Camera in CA to see if I could get a camera body quicker.  I was told that they already had a shipment come in, sold out and those on the waiting list probably wouldn't see theirs until Feb. or March 2009.  So I decided to pray and believe that I would have one by the end of January.  Why?  Because the baby is due then and I wanted to give my mom my Rebel to take on her trip to Israel in early February.  

It's easy to trust in the Lord in the good times, but your faith is tested in the hard times.  This past week there were a few things that were bothering me.  I prayed about them and the Lord answered both of those prayers, one Friday and the other one this morning.  There's one more prayer that's in the process of being answered.  It's kind of a big one, but I remember that I have a big God!  So as I was thinking about this about 2 hours ago, and reminding myself that "...my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus", the phone rang.  It was Christian Photo calling to say they received a 5D this morning in and they were wondering if I wanted it.  Eight days after I looked at it.  It just amazes me how much the Lord looks out for us.  He knows the desires of our hearts!  I have been believing and sowing for a new camera and now it's here!  Thank you Jesus!  And to top it all off, there is a very dear individual who is purchasing it for me!  Wow.  God is good!
