A God Ordained Meeting

I have really wanted to share this story for a while now.

I went to the Clackamas mall with my sister and my mom when I was about six or seven months pregnant. We were eating and visiting in the food court when two ladies, an older one and a younger one came up to me. The younger lady introduced herself and the other woman and said,
"We love Jesus....and we are doing a prayer scavenger hunt. We saw that you were pregnant and wondered if we could pray for you."
I was skeptical at first. I didn't know these ladies. They said they loved Jesus but that didn't tell me what they believed, or whether it lined up with the word of God. But I figured prayer could never hurt. So I agreed.

They began asking me questions about my baby, if it was a boy or girl, about the father, if I was married. They asked if my marriage was going well.
"What's the baby's name?" They continued with the questioning.
"It's Gabriel." I told them.
"Gabriel. That's a beautiful name. Are you familiar with Gabriel the angel?"
"Yes, actually I'm a believer too." I told them. They were pleased when I told them this and finished there questioning. They asked permission to lay hands on me and began praying.

The older woman prayed first. As she began to pray I felt the Holy Spirit, and I relaxed. I could tell by her prayer that she and God weren't strangers. She prayed for my baby, for his health, for the upcoming delivery. She stopped and asked me if there was anything wrong in my body that might effect my baby or delivery. At the time I told her no, but looking back I realize God may have been speaking to her about my pelvic structure.

She continued to pray and I could feel the Holy Spirit moving through her as she prayed. She prayed for my marraige and then she began praying for things going on in my heart that she couldn't have possibly known. She then grew quiet. With eyes still closed she began to speak to me.
"I see a peace in you," she said. "I just sense God's peace all over you. I feel like there is this 'impossible' prayer, if you will, that you have been praying. You been praying it for a long time and you feel like there is no way God could ever answer it. You feel like it will never happen. But He wants you to know He is going to answer that prayer." As she was speaking tears began filling my eyes and lump formed in my throat. I knew what prayer she was talking about. I was moved. God had heard me, He still cared about me. He cared enough to send these two ladies to pray for me and speak into my life, and even better. He was promising to come through for me.

Then she opened her eyes and looked at me. "Does this sound like its right? Is this applying to you?" She asked.
"Ya," I said softly and roughly through tears. She finished praying for me and the younger girl began to pray. Afterward she said as she was praying she saw a trumpet and she felt like Gabriel was going to be a worshiper of God. That blessed me.

What an amazing experience. It must have taken a lot of courage for them to come up to a stranger. But what a God ordained meeting it turned out to be! God went out of his way to show me He hasn't forgot about me. He always hears me, and He is getting ready to do something miraculous. He's going to answer my 'impossible' prayer.
