First meeting

This weekend five years ago I came home to an unexpected message in my inbox from a guy in Wisconsin telling me he was coming to visit my church, and suggesting getting together for dinner with my family while visiting. Now John and I had been online friends friends for a couple years, but this meeting in person set in motion a train of events which led to us getting married 6 months later. The irony to me is that the Sunday before I had been down and very discouraged wondering if the Lord would ever grant my desire for a husband and family, and had had no idea that my trial was coming to an end. I'm so thankful the Lord brought us together, and I frequently remind myself of this blessing (and that of other answered prayers) as time goes on and I am called to wait on the Lord in other circumstances. It might sound trite, because it doesn't always feel that way, but the Lord will give what is good.
