So, earlier this week I had torn apart the house, stripped down the car, and searched every nook and cranny of the yard without any luck of finding my son's (Tatem's) shoes. He was missing two brand new pairs and it was a mystery.
I had been in Tennessee for a week with my older two kids and when we returned my husband told me they were gone, but he never really remembered them seeing them. Had they blown away in the many wind storms we had? I asked the babysitters who helped out while I was gone, and they didn't remember ever seeing those shoes.
Before buying new ones I said a prayer and told God that I trusted that He knew where they were and I trusted His plan. If the shoes found their way to someone who needed them more then that would be wonderful but if they were hidden in plain sight I asked Him to reveal to me in my mind a vision of where they would be so I could save some money and be done looking. For two days I waited and the vision never came.
Because he now had to wear last year's flip flops and his toes were hanging over the edge, I decided to just go buy new ones. I was able to get another of the spider man pair that he loved,but the other pair (which was our favorite) was permanently out of stock - even online. So, I told myself they were just shoes and there were more important things in life.
A couple days later, as I was putting Tatem in his car seat I heard a voice say, "Open the the middle arm rest and you'll find Tatem's shoes." I had forgotten there is a hidden arm rest in the back seat where you can store things. We never use it. I saw the vision in my mind of the shoes sitting there. So, I opened it and there they were!
What blows my mind, is that my husband never used my car while I was gone. I saw the shoes in the house before I left on my trip. My son isn't aware of this arm rest, and doesn't even know how to pull it out of the seat.Was it possible that by Divine intervention, the shoes were taken from their hidden location and placed in this spot, so I would recognize the miracle? Who knows, but my son was right there when I found them and even he seemed surprised.
Just another testament that sometimes when we pray the answer comes a little later than we expect. Maybe I was still enough for a moment to be in tune to that voice. I'm feeling so blessed and grateful!
