We serve such an amazing and wonderful Lord…. Who, by the way, has great humor – and Who loves to answer prayer!!!!
I shared in an earlier post about the wolf/dog the Lord
gave me in 
answer to my prayer for a dog to run with in the wilds of the woods around our home. Einstein is an incredible blessing – and has blessed me with another answer to another prayer (a prayer that the Lord would give me patience). As I was running with Einstein, there was some training that had to happen… I had to establish myself as the boss (not him). At one point, I became pretty impatient with Einstein and really got after him for his disobedience. That small, quiet voice asked…. what if I was as harsh with you when you disobey Me – where would that leave you? Very convicting – and I later realized that the Lord brought me Einstein not only in answer to my prayer for protection as I run, but in answer to my prayer to learn patience — practice makes (at least in my imperfectness) perfect (or at least better!). Praise God that He is patient with me! So grateful that He is the perfect Provider of exactly what I need to grow up, and to grow closer to Him.
