GOD REALLY ANSWERS PRAYERS!!!

Blessing : my dear friend God really answers prayers oh! hmmmmm.

Sarah :     Are you just finding out, I have told you several times but because you never take me seriously, you always think I'm joking.

Blessing: My dear, will you blame me? you know how long I stayed without a Job, and all the disappointments from people  I really relied on, including you sometimes. What else could i do but  feel bad and behave the way I did during those terrible times.

Sarah: My dear Sister, I am so glad you feel differently now, but I am happier that God is not man because he did something you've always wanted, and that's why you can now say God really     answers prayers. lol!

Blessing: Shuuuuu see beef, Sarah, are you jealous that God answered my prayers?

Sarah: Not at all o! I am happy oh! I just passed a comment, thats all.

Blessing: Well my Joy is complete and that is all that matters now; whether it took a miracle or anything to                    make me say God really answers prayers, I just needed proof because year in, year out for                               almost 5 years, I kept asking him for a good Job. Life looked gray, at the thought of any good job                        coming my way . So I thought I could even use what I had as a woman to get

                 what I wanted and survive in this country, but things became worse; all the men I met,both young                  and old, took advantage of me and made me feel worthless. I turned to God and kept asking. I                          asked, and I asked, and guess what Blessing, I have never been happier; the way things turned                        around for me, if I tell you, you would become more jealous the way I am looking at your eyes :                      ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! ha! But anyway you have come to my office now, and have seen how things are                  and how Andrew is killing himself over our  wedding; like he can't wait for me to get into his                            house and many other things. Anyway, I don't want to waste your time and I even need to get                          ready for bible study. Take good care of yourself, and don’t forget to tell someone else like you                      told me that God really answers prayers. He really does. Bye dear.

Listening to those ladies at the ice cream place felt funny; maybe it had something to do with the way Blessing carried on about how good God has been to her or maybe it was the way I saw them discuss that was interesting I am not sure which, but their conversation reminded me about the many times I have felt happier than Blessing because the requests I prayed about were answered wholly. I tried to imagine those beautiful times, to appreciate how Blessing felt. But what dawned more on me was the look on many faces of people who had met me or someone I knew and said, 'I am giving up!' it does not look like this tough phase of my life will ever end.  Chuka, maybe I need to accept that this is what God has brought my way and just keep moving with the tide.  I remembered that during such moments, because I could not feel exactly what those friends or persons felt, I had not much to say until the day I listened to the conversation between Blessing and Sarah but especially the instruction Blessing left for Sarah 'Don’t Forget to tell someone else like you told me that GOD REALLY ANSWERS PRAYERS'.

I knew immediately where I had failed in my responsibility to those individuals. I should have told them even in those times that God really answers prayers.  I feel better now because, I have learned through Blessing and Sarah. I just would like to let you know that you are next in line for a miracle and GOD REALLY ANSWERS PRAYERS!
