God does answer prayers. even the littlest ones.

i went grocery shopping yesterday. on the way to the food section, i saw my favorite brand of cookies (chips delight soft brownie cookies!) and excitedly grabbed a bag. yay for chocolate! 

as i was lining up for my purchases, i decided not to get them cookies anymore because they were not part of the budget. as i was walking home, a bit sad for not being able to get my chocolate fix,   i quietly told God, "God, gusto ko po ng chocolate bukas..."

and LO and BEHOLD! before my day at work ended today, one of my colleagues gave me this HUGE bar of chocolate! with hazelnuts! and it wasn't just ANY bar of chocolate, it was SWISS chocolate!  (it sorta looked like the photo on the left but the treat given to me had hazelnuts and was not "dark.")

yes, friends... God answers prayers! sometimes we think that he seems soooooo far away. we think, rather, we worry that he won't be able to heal our sick loved ones, or provide for tuition and/or bill payments, or even restore broken relationships. but come on now, he's GOD! didn't he say that his arm ain't too short and his ears ain't too dull to hear? if he was able to bring forth LIGHT with JUST A WORD, don't you think he'd be able to answer all your prayers and concerns and more?

i may have had the littlest and seemingly most insignificant want--but if God was able to answer that prayer, how much more the things that mean the most to you (and me, and all of the people? nyuk hyuk hyuk.. corny )?

have a blessed vacation!
