Answer to prayer

If you haven't heard, the midwest got a little snow and ice this week. In fact, not many people went to work the past couple days. Andy, however, did have to work. So our Explorer was parked at the bottom of our driveway (which is a hill) so he could get to and from work without getting stuck in our driveway. Since the wind stopped, today during nap time would be the first chance we (I) have had to shovel the driveway. So during my quiet time (which is as soon as both boys are down for nap) one of my prayer requests was "Lord, Please help me get the driveway cleared before Sunday!? Not only do I want Andy to be able to get up to the garage, but we're having a superbowl party on Sunday at our house. So naturally, the driveway is a concern. So after I prayed for awhile, I bundled up and went to work. Using a snow shovel and a regular shovel, I could chip apart large sections of extremely hard snow. They were too big to throw with a shovel (up to my shoulders if I stood them up), so I bend down and picked them up and tossed them to the side. Now don't get me wrong, I would break them into managable sizes. But it was going to take forever and it was hard work. My back is still killing me. But God decided to answer this particular prayer quickly. A backhoe happened to be driving by and I didnt think much of it. They are building a new road near us and large equipment is going by all the time. The boys love it. :) But this one turned around and drove up our drive and plowed the whole thing right out! Now we still have some work to do, but he saved me days of labor! I'm am so thankful right now I could dance, and I dont even know the guy's name! God is so awesome! The only regret is I wish the boys could have seen it.....they would have loooved it! :)
