Glorious day!
Eyes tightly shut, hands lifted high, tears sparkling in her lashes. She stood not knowing how her need would be met. She mumbled under her breath - "Lord, that gift I desire is mine to claim. I know in Your own time, when I'm ready for it, You'll give it to me. Now I surrender wholly to You. Body mind and soul... Take me I am Yours."
She loved to sing. Especially in a gathering like this, where voices joined as one floated up to the throne of the Most High. Where many imperfections drowned out in an expression of love. Today, however, was not exactly the same. Her tongue was tired but her heart sang a new song of praise for the One she loved. Her lips were still, but the song bubbled inside of her. It bubbled with growing energy, till it finally broke out...
God in His amazing love granted her desire. At the least expected moment, the gift was hers, though she deserved no such grace. She asked and He gave it to her. Without any questions, any conditions, in an instant He changed her world :)

He spoke.
I'm so amazed at the love of God that leads me on! Early in the morning during my quiet time a question entered my mind and I asked Jesus, "What about this? I would like it if it should happen sometime in the future... Or is it the right desire at all?" It lingered on in my mind almost making me inattentive during my clinical postings.
I wasn't myself and nothing except the question ran through my mind. Would it be OK or not? Those words just rattled on.
I have waited for answers from God for years. Sometimes He answers sooner but I fail to hear. Now I was anxious to avoid any of those spots. I can't wait and I can't not hear...
Surprisingly, in the evening when our course co-ordinator was dropping us back to the train station, I heard God speak. He spoke through my clinical coordinator. There was no reason why she had to randomly start talking about her life experiences that actually related to my question! She had never before discussed any thing personal with us but now she did!
Divine intervention! For me!
Thank You Lord!
