Last night when I was getting in bed, in major pain and barely walking, I looked at my phone and there was a message from Dave saying Dani might be going in to labor and he might need me to work from 10 to 1 but he thought Amy would cover it.  I sent him a message that I was barely walking, to keep me informed and I would do what I needed to do.  At that point it was time to pray and so I did and prayed that I would be able to walk and function if the need was there. I prayed also for Dani and Dave.  Anyway, I didn't hear back and so figured all was well.  I didn't go in at 10 but did go in at 11 when I dropped Natty off for work.  I received word about a food review so I sat down and addressed it online and then was talking with Dave when the phone rang, it was Dani and it was time.  Dave left.  I stayed, Brent came in early.  It was actually fairly quiet at the shop right up until that moment and then it got busy and it stayed busy and I stayed all day until just shy of closing.  Last night the amount of pain I was in was incredible, this morning I felt a lot better but still in some pain and then when I was needed the strength was there to make it happen.  I don't think that was just coincidence.  I am sitting here typing this and I am hurting, not as bad as last night but still hurting.  Anyhow, I am grateful for prayer and I am grateful for a Heavenly Father who is aware of the burdens of my day and who made them light.  Answers to prayers come in a variety of ways.  Today they came by way of physical strength in a time of need.  Some answers however don't come like working all day so you can support your brother and still waiting on word of the birth of your newest nephew.  I keep checking messages but there is nothing.  It's wonderful.  Hopefully tomorrow I will have the answer which I seek.  I have to be prepared for my role as uncle.
