Fran has horses. And, she has mice in the horse barn. So she says to herself, “I need a black snake to take care of the mice.”
Time goes by. She puts up with the mice.
Then one day she goes to the restroom at work, and there’s a black snake on the floor by the toilet! She does what we all do when we see a snake—some kind of “Eeeeek!” scream.
Then suddenly she stops, smiles, and says, “Oh, thank you Lord!” She gets help, and takes the snake home in a cardboard box.
You have to remember you asked for it.
Answered prayer is alive and wild and feels dangerous.
