God's sovereignty

Well, as i think i already mentioned in a previous post way back when our cat is missing. She has been gone for a week, and we pretty much figured she was gone for good. We've had her for about 9 1/2 years and I love her a lot. She was my favorite. She used to let us (well, with a little hissing and meowing) dress her up in doll clothes and drag her around like a baby doll. She caught many a mouse for us as well. :)

Well anyway just last night (when we were pretty positive she was gone) Mom heard a meowing in the front yard. So I went out and found her in the bushes. She was really freaked out though and when I tried to pick her up, she skittered away from me. I was practically kicking myself for not trying harder cuz after that she ran off in the dark and didn't make any noise. After about an hour or so of looking and calling for her we gave up and left some tuna on the front step in case she came back. I was still mad at myself for not getting her so I decided to sit on the front steps for awhile till she came back. Nothing happened and I realized it wasn't up to me whether we found her or not. So I started praying and praying. I got myself a pillow and blanket and was determined to sit on the front steps the whole time until she showed up again. But Dad put a stop to that quick and said I could have another half hour. So I kept praying and praying until I heard her meow. Everyone else was in bed so I creeped into the neighbor's yard with some tuna. She was under this giant pine tree that looked pretty freaky in the dark, so i got on my stomach and slithred under it (yup, i probly looked like a not-so-right-in-their-mind maniac) and grabbed her. Then I brought her in and we all showered her with attention. (and locked our dog in a room). It was a very happy night!!!

But anyway, I just wanted to share that story because it was very encouraging to me to see how God can work in even these little small ways! :)
