Sometimes God acts really fast

So this story doesn't start pleasant but it has an astounding end and so I want to share it. Ok, here comes the aggravating part:
Maybe six weeks ago my cat, Romeo, started to linger in front of my apartment door, clearly showing that he wanted to go out. As I am living in the middle of the city, a big road passing my house plus Romeo has never been out since he was seven weeks old, I do not want him to go out. But then, when he found that "whining" and meowing wouldn't help, he started to pee on the corridor floor every second or third day. So I had the "fun" business to clean a lot and one night I was really desperate about the situation.

Wednesday a week ago (October 22nd) I had a vet's appointment with Romeo because it was time for his annual vaccination. I told him about my stinky problem, too, and the vet had some good suggestions, like having a second litter pan put on the place where the cat used to "pee extra".
Another suggestion was: "You should have another cat, but a young female, to keep him company."

"Sure!" I thought, inwardly rolling my eyes. "Of course! Where should I suddenly get a young female cat from???"

Later in the evening I prayed: "Lord, if you really want me to have another young female cat, you have to bring it to my front door. I have no idea where to get a cat so you have to take care for it if it is your will."
And I didn't think about it any longer.

Three days later. Saturday.
A friend of mine, Miss A. and her husband Mr. T. were celebrating both their birthdays. (In Germany the person who wants to celebrate his/her birthday has to organize the party or whatever by him/herself). And they had asked me to come an join them a couple of weeks ago. We haven't seen each other for a long time for they live in Cologne. I first had promised to go there and stay for the weekend (Oct. 24th-26th) but when I learned that my cat has the problem I told you in the beginning, I didn't want to stay out of the house for 3 days. Plus, I was pretty exhausted because it was the weekend following my first week back at work after an unintended break of 28 weeks. Not to forget I was forced to take the train which would take me 4 hours to get there...
I prayed again and said: "Lord, I don't want to go - I really want to see my friends, but... well, you know... but I feel you want me to go so please, let it be to your glory!" My idea was at least to go and show my friend and her husband the love of God and share the gospel. So I went on Saturday and wanted to go back home at the same day.

When I got there, the first "thing" I saw was my friend's little cat "Daisy"! The lil one was jumping up and down and I couldn't help but shout "how cute is she?!"
And Miss A. said, "YES, she is super cute, but you know, Mr. T. has some allergies and 2 nights ago he could hardly breathe! You should have heard the weird noises when he tried to breathe, I was really concerned about him. And today I was almost crying but I think we are forced to give Daisy away...!
"I could take her, " I said in impulse.

"Are you serious???"

"Well, I don't want to take your cat away, but hear what the vet said 3 days ago... blah blah..."

"Okay, let's go the whole hog: you stay here for the night and tomorrow we will give you a ride home and you can take Daisy with you."

I didn't know what to say and I was not even sure if that was the right thing to do... But then I remembered my prayer which was like "God, if you want, you have to bring a young female cat to my front door" and here was Miss A. offering to bring the cat not only to my front door but also right into my apartment.
It was also ok to stay one night in Cologne 'cause my mom agreed come to my house and take care of Romeo (thanks mom!).

And the miracle went on.


When Romeo and Daisy met the first time they just snuffled and nosed each other. Ok, Romeo, who is not used to have another cat around him, seemed to be nervous first but two days later he tolerated her being close to his blanket..


And two more days later, it was so cute to watch Daisy trying to get closer to Romeo!

By the way:
Saturday, when all the guests were at my friend's house, we had not so much time to talk... But when Miss A. and Mr. T. decided to give me a ride home because of the cat, we had about an hour in the car, a great time to talk... which gave me the opportunity to share some stories about my life with God, that He answeres my prayers and that He loves them, too, and longs for a personal relationship with them!

It was a holy moment.

I love my new "missionary cat", lil 6-months-old Daisy!

Not to forget to mention: I didn't need to clean my floor for some "cat-accident" reason for almost two weeks!
