When have you felt the spirit directly answering your prayers?

It's funny how the Lord tends to work in our lives in quiet but remarkable ways that shape our true selves little by little until we turn around and we have completely transformed from the person we once were without even noticing it. 

I posed the above question to B a few weeks ago for our question series and then kind of forgot about it and never took the time to write my answer.  I have thought about it from time to time with vague memories coming into mind of when I have felt the Lord acting on my behalf and answering my questions sometimes speaking directly to my mind and guiding my hands. 

I thought of a time in New York that I had to go and pick up my cousin in a car about 1/2 hour away and had only been to her school once.  I prayed and said I'm leaving it up to you because I have no idea where I am going and really felt the spirit guiding me as I switched between highways and drove directly there shocking myself beyond belief and my cousin had to literally give me directions home because I had no idea how I had gotten there.

I thought of the time when I felt very strongly that I should sell my condo and move home out of the blue and put it on the market only to lose my job two weeks later but had my condo sold and didn't have to worry about a house payment.

I thought of my family having a 'secret' fast on my behalf that I would find a woman to marry and on that very day I invited B with me to a family function shocking my family and later myself that this beautiful woman would be my wife.

The point I have realized is that the Lord's hand is acting on my behalf on a daily basis if I take the time to look with new eyes.  Just yesterday I had the girls in the car, Sophie not having taken a nap and wanting her to fall asleep, I was going to go for a short drive while B helped our sister in law Kaylene with a project.  As I got to the top of the circle I went to turn right when a very clear feeling came over me and I didn't so much as hear the words but felt the words "Go and drive through the condos your parents want to buy, one has become available today".  I'm happy to say I didn't hesitate and turned left figuring why not, even though I had driven through them only two days before.  As I drove through the development sure enough there was a new sign and again I didn't hesitate because of the prompting and called the Realtor who after some convincing let B and I see the property right then before he showed it to five other people he had previously scheduled. 

As a back story, we have been looking at these for quite some time and they have been selling within the hour of them going on the market and they don't come up all that often so we were wanting first dibs.  My mom had become concerned that they wouldn't find a place and even commented to my dad a few days earlier that she was worried about this and hoped the Lord would take care of them.  Well, he did.

I called my parents and woke them up to help us decide as we walked through the town home.  Describing to them what was good and what needed replacing.  Then we asked the realtor how to move forward with a full price cash offer.  Within a few hours we had our offer accepted and have a great place for my parents to come home to that we all feel is their home and all because the Lord answered a prayer!
