How great is our God?

This is just so awesome that I wanted to share. As most people know I am quite religious and read my Bible faithfully and pray often for people, situations, etc. I also ask for help when I am frustrated, scared, worried etc. This is really the first time that I had a prayer answered that was a smack in the face.
Even though I KNOW that we aren't supposed to worry about tomorrow because today has enough troubles in it, but I couldn't help worrying about how I was going to wean Reyna from nursing. I promised my husband that I would only do it until she was 6 months old because then with starting solids etc. it's simply easier to give her a bottle etc. Well, I didn't think that I would be able to keep my promise to him because she literally didn't want to quit (it's not 6 months yet) but even after having milk for Jason to feed her from a bottle....she would chow down and then still want to nurse. She would fuss and complain until I nursed her. So I was REALLY concerned that it was going to be an exercise in futility.
So two weeks ago I was saying my nightly prayers and I just threw it in there that I needed help with weaning her. I had planned to start weaning her this month so she could have the whole month to get used to the idea. That's when it happened. The VERY next day she woke up and it was my ritual to nurse her in bed and both of us would snooze for another hour. She FLIPPED!! She didn't want nothing to do with it. I had to get up and fix her a bottle (which was ok with me) but then I get this thought like...wow I'm gonna be hurting soon when I become engorged. That NEVER happened. Just POOF, no more milk.
How awesome is that? Well, a little freaky with how fast it happened. But in all honesty I was amazed that He decided to not only answer my prayer, but He also saw fit to have Reyna completely stop instead of having to go thru the trama of weaning. While I had only asked for help, He knew my heart and that I wasn't looking forward to it. Praise the Lord
