A child's Prayer

So, here's an experience I wanted to share. Mainly I wanted to document it for my family. (Since as most of you know I do a Blog Book every year) So anyway, about a year ago Isaac did some serious fasting and Prayer that the Lord would help him to specialize in something at his work. He was really pushing to make E.S.D. (Electro Static Discharge) his specialty and it started looking like it was going to happen, he went to his first certification training about a year ago in Boston. But then his boss decided to bag it and he missed the following training six months later. So Isaac decided that perhaps it might not happen and went on with his job.

Then in May B98.7 (the Radio Station) was doing their annual Disneyland a Day in May contest and I decided we were going to win! In case you are unfamiliar, they give away a trip to Disneyland to a family of 4 every day in the month of May. So I had the radio on and called in all the time! And every time I called I told the kids to pray to Heavenly Father that we would win tickets to go to Disneyland. And boy did they, they constantly prayed that Mama would win tickets so we could go to Disneyland. (Now, you might say, what if you don't win, then they will think that their prayers would be unanswered, but we already had a trip planned for Feb. so I knew that one way or another their prayers would be answered). Anyway, I called and called and did NOT win. I was so sure I would. It was kind of disappointing.

Now what, might you ask, does E.S.D. have to do with Disneyland? Well a couple of days ago Isaac came home from work and told me that The Director of his Dept. (His Boss's Boss) decided that he wants Isaac to become the company's E.S.D. specialist and that he needs to go to the next training in September! One Prayer answered. Well, the training and Symposium is being held at the Disneyland Hotel in California!!! So we are going with Daddy! Woot, woot! Instead of paying his plane ticket they are giving him the money and allowing him to drive, and they are paying for the hotel! Standard room sleeps 4! So we will be staying at the Disneyland Hotel at the Disneyland Resort!!!! And Disneyland is giving a special discount on Park Hopper tickets to all the people participating in the training and their families $35 a Day!!! So in essence we did win a trip to Disneyland! Our children's prayers were truly answered! Prayer works that's all I can say. Sometimes the Lord does not answer when we expect him or want him to, but he answers.
