In case you didn't know...

God still answers prayers! Even the tiny little seemingly unimportant issues are addressed. As everyone knows, my parents were going to miss my graduation due to my mom's second stem cell transplant. I was not even sure if I wanted to walk in the ceremony, because my parents paid my tuition and they are the reason I had an opportunity to receive an education. I really wanted them to be there for my graduation, but even more I wanted my mom to get better. I think we were all sort of okay with my parents not being there, but not really. Anyway, my mom talked to her doctor today and her doctor decided that she and my dad can wait until December 14th (the day after graduation) to go back to Little Rock. YAY! She called me tonight while we were eating dinner. I cannot even explain how excited I am! I knew it would be fine if my parents weren't there, because the most important thing is my mom's health. I still wanted them to be there, though. I knew it would work out somehow. Once again God provided not only my needs but also my wants. After the ceremony we are going out to eat to celebrate my graduation and my birthday...WOW! Could it have worked out any better? I always seem to worry about things that seem like such a big deal, but retrospectively, those big deals really aren't anything at all...

Delight yourself in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart.
Psalm 37:4
