Prayer is a Funny Thing....

First I was praying that Heavenly Father would soften my parents hearts towards the idea of Sam coming to Colorado to be my prom date....
and then he answered my prayers by showing me that Sam was not good for me and that I should tell him to change his plane ticket.
I thought a part of this answer to my prayers Heavenly Father was providing me with CJ to go to prom with...
I prayed that CJ would ask me....
and then CJ told me that he couldn't take me to prom because of money reasons and his parents objections... and then he got a new girlfriend to ask to prom....
I prayed for a new prom date
I prayed that it would work out with my sister's neighbor
I prayed that a friend would notice me
And then I went to my brother's house and he happened to know some priests that would take me to prom. I only found one of the facebook profiles out of all the guys we tried to look up
I prayed that he would be at church the next day...
He was blessing the sacrament.
I prayed that it wouldn't be awkward
It was haha
Today I almost stood him up because I was afraid that it would be weird and I am not going to lie he is a little strange....
I almost canceled. But then I prayed...
I don't know the twist and the turns of my life but I know that the Lord's hand is in my life. Tonight I went on a date with the answers to my prayers and although he is JUST A FRIEND. (I don't think of him romantically at all) I got to know a Son of God who has a pure heart, who is a genuine guy, a gentleman, and yes although a little odd.... someone I can really talk to and instead of looking at me as a hot date... he looked at me as a person and because of him I felt valued. Heavenly Father hears and answered my prayers. It is almost never in the way I expect him to but he is ALWAYS there :)
