Soon.
"Soon" was an answer from God after a particularly fervent prayer. I can't remember what my exact words of prayer were but I remember being shocked hearing something so clearlyi. I wasn't expecting an answer but the joy that followed it was unforgettable. Except that joy didn't last very long in the face of numerous negatives. Negative ovulation tests, negative pregnancy test and negative attitude, to name a few. Soon became something I just thought I heard. Until I heard it again. And again. And again. Soon became the word I heard over and over again when I felt like God was silent. Soon became the reason I could smile and have real joy when I saw babies or heard someone was expecting. Sometimes soon gets me through the day. It gives me hope and security in a God who is working behind the scenes and is soverign over every detail of my life.
