Nothing too big or too small

Sometimes when I pray for things I feel guilty for asking for something so small and insignificant when other peoples needs are so much greater than my own, but tonight Allen and I had a prayer answered in an unexpected way. For weeks we have been truly stressed over the disrespectfulness of our neighbors. They have been playing in our side yard constantly, even their dad was in on the action. At first it wasn't that big of a deal to us, but as time went on it really began to irritate us. It just seemed so unneighborly and that they just didn't care at all. Allen has blew his lid a few times over it out loud to me, but we hadn't addressed it with our neighbors because we just didn't know what the right way to handle the situation was. We didn't want to cause any bad feelings over something that in the big picture isn't really that big of a deal, but at the same time we felt very frustrated. Allen had reached his boiling point and I was worried sick about how the "confrontation" was eventually going to go down. Allen and I have both breathed short prayers of , "How do we handle this? What is the best way to deal with it?" Today when I came home from work the neighbor stopped by to let us know that she mowed our lawn because she appreciates us letting her kids play in our side yard. UNBELIEVABLE! It was like instantaneously the stress over the situation was lifted. It wasn't really that Allen and I cared if their kids play in that part of the yard because really we aren't using it for anything, it just a matter of feeling disrespected and having un-neighborly neighbors. We just thought they didn't care. Now we know they do care and our outlook on the whole situation has completely changed. I feel so relieved! Another good thing today, I didn't have to take any anti-nausea medication at all! I was very very tired all day, but sick I was not! Thank goodness! I was just telling Allen yesterday I was sad because I wanted to be able to enjoy being pregnant, and not be sick all the time, and ta-da today I really REALLY felt better. I hope everyone else had as good of a day as we had today. If not, just remember tomorrow is Wednesday, making the week half over! :)
