I have a quick story to share with you today. Today I flew out to Orlando with my roommate – while we live in New York, his closest friends and family in Florida and this annual trip is the highlight of his year. Where do I come in? As a helper – due to his disability, he needs assistance with daily tasks. While getting things ready 2 days ago, I noticed that there was a hole in my purse, and something very important missing  – my ID! If you’ve ever tried to board a plane without ID, it is not a pretty scene. In a panic, I had my mother overnight my birth certificate, got my social security card out, and a few other documents, hoping that it’d help my cause and I’d still be allowed on the plane.

I also prayed. I prayed Jesus would work it out, I prayed for my ID to turn up, I prayed and got all my friends to pray with me. It’s such a small thing, and yet so important to me.

It seemed my prayers were going unanswered. I went to the DMV in NY to get a new ID, and was denied because I didn’t have the right proofs of identity (my CBS employment ID was for temporary employment so it wasn’t an official plastic card, and my pay stub with my address didn’t have a social security number on it). Unsuccessful, I kept trying to convince myself not to worry, to give it to God and let Him deal with it.

I searched the house again, especially my bedroom. I got everything packed, ready, cleaned…..and went to bed last night with no ID.

Did I mention I went to bed with no ID?? Because when I woke up, the ID was sitting right in the middle of my dresser.

Did I miss it the first 100 times I looked? You could say that, but I know that it wasn’t just a mistake. It was my prayer. I know the ID wasn’t there before. God helped it turn up, and he delivered it just in time!!!!

Thanks Jesus!
