Luke 18

In the middle of this process, before our lawyer had talked to mom, I became very discouraged and felt like giving up. I had a great talk with my friend Tamra who told me to keep my head up, and never quit because this is my dream. After John got home from work I decided I needed some time to myself to pray. So I came down to my room, alone, and laid on my bed and talked to God. I asked for an answer and sat in silence as I heard many things go through my head.
At this point I feel like I am making up words and talking to myself, when the name "Luke" stands out. As I open my eyes I look straight at a box with the number 18 written on it. Ok, Luke 18 it is. And I quote:
"Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up."
If that is not the most perfectly timed message I don't know what is. God is great, and He knows when we need to hear from Him. We just need to be able to recognize His voice.
