The Lord answers prayers...

even when, or especially when, they are about serving him.  Now that the kids are back in school, I have been thinking of what I want to do with my time and how I could provide some service.  I don't want something that will become a full time job, but things that are flexible and kinda interesting.  Well, I finally settled it in my mind and that night prayed and asked Heavenly Father to help me find service.  The next day Adam and I went to the DMV for our licenses and when I was doing my voter registration, I asked how if I could be one of those nice old ladies on voting day.  I love those ladies!  I love them at Enrichment, I like being around Grandmas anywhere.  She grabbed the application and said they were in great need of volunteers.  (Answer to prayer!)  I even found out I will get paid.  I told her I was glad I decided to serve before I knew about the paycheck.
Well this week, I knelt to pray again because that wasn't really enough service- a day once in awhile.  The next day, yesterday, I went to Tae Kwon Do and Master Park asked if I worked.  When I told him I didn't, he asked if I would help teach his wife English.  She needs practice speaking.  He had been thinking of me and when I told him I was even an English teacher, he looked just so happy.  (Another answer to prayer!)  And what awesome answers.  I really was expecting some sister in the ward to need meals or a ride to a doctors appointment (that was the answer last time).   I couldn't have picked better service projects had a chosen them myself.  But then that's why he's the Lord.  I love him and I'm grateful.
