the letter: the rest of the story

[geordiegeorgie]

I just posted on the A/B board about finally hearing from the inpatient place I have been waiting for two months. From the only place in the country still willing to consider me.

A woman from church insisted that I pray a letter would arrive within a fortnight. I agreed but then told God a fortnight was too long to wait for a miracle and told him I'm be giving up after three days.

Two days later the letter arrived

Just a questionnaire and still no guarantee of anything ... probably still at least several months to wait for any assesment ... but a letter nevertheless.

I am slightly :happy but very :scared, frightened that they will not be able to take me, or that they'll make me wait another year or two before I can reach the top of the waiting list.

What is it about some people and prayer?

Why can I not find that sort of faith?

But maybe, perhaps ... I might try asking again ...

I think you DO have faith. I find (at least with me) if my prayers aren't answered the way I WANT THEM to be, then at times my faith teeters. But that's not the way prayers work :ugh unfortunately.

How does that saying go..........
I prayed......I didn't get what I asked for, but I got what I needed
Something like that. You get the point :happy

Yup, faith is something that MUST be worked on continually.

Good luck on your spiritual journey
and good luck on your acceptance!!

There is no time limit on our prayers, wishes etc. All i know is that out Higher Power finds a way, amongst it all, to help.
