Answered Prayer by Lynda Christopher

[Sara V Schmidt]

Here is what Lynda wrote us in introduction:

For me, lynda christopher, i remember as a child, loving God, even praying that He would keep me from spankings, when staying too late at a g/fs, instead of running home quickly for dinner. Each time i did , i got by.

When i was 26, and mother of 3, i prayed silently, (no one knew), for a piano, and said to God that i could only afford $10.00. The morning after the 3rd night, i went into the kitchen to hesr my husband's friend say, "And by the way, do you know anyone wanting a piano ?" I got fa piano that day, for free, and delivered! (They were buying a new one).

My faith in God grew strong, then, over the ensuing years. At one time, i called a g/f , but her mom said she was on her last 6 mths. to live, had been divorced, and two sons taken away, lost her home and good job, asking now to have one last request if her parents, who she moved in with, now in late stage Parkinson Disease, to go visit Disney here in Florida. I asked her mother if she were a christian, saying yes i, asked would she agree with me for her daughters healing in Jesus' Name, she agreed. Two to six weeks later, i remembered to call back, finding she'd not obly went into remissiin, but had her job and sons back, but a new husband who loved her dearly. I continued to thank and praise God for His marvelous ways, and hearing my heartfelt prayers, and answering them.

Later on, havubf orayed for a couple who were requesting prayer by me to get pg, and have a baby, as nothing else was working. Within a year, they had a son. So then, i was asked to pray for an 11 year old girl, who had lukemia. She got well. I believe i was asked because of my great faith to believe in God's Word as Truth. I'd ask Him for a Word, for bible class, i'd usually get 3. Then, at the meeting 3 different people would say them, each saying one.

My faith in Him grew. The night i met larry, ui felt an Ominous presence about me, i found out that he had a vision of Jesus, and He showed him me and our children. It was on our first night of meeting each other. He and i married latee that year, and went in to have 3 incredible children, and a few grandchildren, too! God is so good. Now, years later, we found your site, and will learn and grow, and as you say, "take up our cross, and follow Him. Blessings,
