Of Sparkly Converse and Answered Prayers.

So a while back I was having a few hard weeks. Like super hard. I was getting kinda bitter in my prayers.. Like "really God, this too, do you even know me"? I know dramatic right? Well sometimes things are just rough and it's hard for us to see that God really is there and that he cares.
   One night I had a dream.. a dream that I got these brand new lovely sparkly converse.. Well in real life I had never seen them, so I didn't think they existed. I woke up thinking.. dang those were so cute. I want those shoes! Too bad it was a dream.
  Not even a couple days later.. we're looking around in TJ-max and guess what I see? Sparkly Converse! On SALE! Literally less than half the price you normally buy a pair of converse for and in my size! . .Coincidence? I think not.  I instatnly recognized that God was telling me.. Hey Sister Davidson. I know you. I know these were something you would like.. so I put them in your path. I think God puts little things like this in our lives to help us realize that He does know us.
Sparkly Converse are a silly little thing. Not a neccesity.. but something I would love.. So God let me have them. I love God. He really is there.. He always answers prayers.. this time He answered mine with a pair of Converse. It's not about the shoes.. it's about the fact that God knows everything we're going through.
Im reminded Of Christ when he said
Jesus said:
“Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
“Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?
“If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?” (Matthew 7:9–11).
