As I was watching The Ten Commandments cartoon, I was,aware of how long it took God to answer the prayers of the Hebrew slaves, because he had to get things done in order. Moses needed to be born and preserved. I think of how I have known of people who prayed for things and then, because it was not immediately answered it was mistaken for not being answered at all. Hence, there is no God. I believe I am here as the answer to one's prayer. That prayer was thought to have been forgotten and long assumed it would not be answered because it was not yet answered in a way that had been expected.
It reminds me of times I thought I wanted a job but was not given it. And it was just to prepare me for a more ideal one. Though I wanted that job. The fact that I was not given it kept me free and able to accept the right one when it came along.
The other thing heavily on my mind is how many variables I had written off as coincidence or not relating to each other. Like how awesome it is to be alive now and under these crcumstances, or being descended from people who also lived in Palmyra, NY where the book of Mormon was deposited. I think it must all be evidence that when applied to eachother lead to something important. Though, I suspect something, as of yet, I do not actually know what I suspect.
