This is a super story of obedience and the power of God to accomplish His will in our life! There is much I do not understand! I want to study the events to know the formula of having prayers answered. I believe there is no formula. God works in mysterious ways. I kind of wish it were not so!
I like the stories where gold dust is falling on people. I heard of one church, where this happens, sweeping up the gold dust and using it to pay off the church building. Henry Gruver, prayer walker to the world, was discouraged by skeptics not to believe in such things. Then it happened to him when he was giving a sermon. God certainly has wondrous ways, whether people believe it or not.
