God hears us

last night, dad, me and Will, went out to wall*mart to get some grocery's. I stayed with them for most of the time. but once someone upsets me, I am gone. I ran to the shoe department. I looked back to make sure will or dad weren't following me. but sure enough, there was will right behind me making sure i didn't run to far. I kept running from him. but when ever I looked back, will was there. I decided it was time for a little agent 00M. It was time to confuse will so he wouldn't keep following me. I run back to the shoe department where they have like 10 rows of just shoes. At the end of every row, there was a seat so you could sit down and try on the shoes. I decided to rest there a while. I noticed that will did not come. I peeked out behind a huge box of boots to see where will was. he obviously didn't know where i was. He was looking for me behind a big rack of clothes. Victory for agent 00M. Will moved on to look for me in another place. Now that i lost will, i could pretty much go any where. I wander around the super store for about 20 minutes. All of the sudden, it dawned on me how long it had been. I decided I had been alone for long enough and it was time to go find my family. I headed away from the t.v. section and started migrating back to the shoe department to see if will came back to see if I was there anymore. Bad news, I couldn't find the shoe department. I started walking all the way around the store looking for the shoes, but I just couldn't find them. about 10 minutes later, I arrived at the shoes. so happy and relieved, I walked back to the seat. but will was not there. now I was really scared. my stomach started feeling weird and I got really nervous. I did something really stupid, and went looking for them. now, if you didn't know, wall*mart is a very very big store. You could easily get lost in it. I looked for about another 20 minutes, and I was very sorry for leaving them like this. I had never been lost before, and this seemed like a pretty serious case for my first time. I think the lady at the dressing room got a little suspicious because I walked past the dressing rooms like, 10 times trying to find my way through the maze of clothes and food and more. every time I walked by her, she gave me the look. she raised one eyebrow. I think she knew what my case was. but she didn't bother to ask. I walked back to the first place we went to see if they went back for something. they weren't there either. I went to the bed and pillow place just because. I sat down with one of the pillows and hugged it. I started crying. I was terrified! I then thought maybe they went to the cash registers to see if I would come there. so I ran up front to the registers and.............. no daddy and will. now I was really in a situation. but then I realized that I hadn't checked in the food department. I ran over there. I looked every where. still no family. I depressingly walk back to the clothes. I sit down in one of those spinning clothes racks. Then I realized that I was being so dumb. I never even thought about praying.
I prayed to God that he would lead me to my family. I stayed in the clothes rack for another minute or so because I knew that I looked really bad because I was crying. I stood up and walked out of the rack. A few ladies stared at me because they had no clue that I was hiding in their clothes. but I didn't care. I knew God would lead me to my family. I just started walking around. no purpose, I didn't know where God was taking me. I just walked. I noticed that I was walking back to the food department. I stopped walking. I looked around in front of me and.................. DADDY!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WILL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I walked up to them. extremely happy to see them. but then I remembered that I was mad at them. So I hid behind a huge box of fruit. for about 5 minutes. they didn't realize I was there. but my dad said,"hey, look who decided to join us!" I'd hate to admit it, but I was very happy to see them. they had NO CLUE of what I just went through. but if they are reading this right now, they do.

this is a story to prove that God hears us, and he wants to guide us through our hard, scary times that we think we can do it, but in the end, we totally screw up. when I prayed to God, he lead me RIGHT to my dad and will. That was a miracle that I will NEVER forget!!!!!!!!!!!!!
