Day 15

           I believe Jimmy Turner is being kept alive as the result of the multitudes of people praying for this young man.  Jimmy was removed from life support early this afternoon and as far as I know he is still here on earth.  The Word says that we are to pray without ceasing, and I can honestly say that this one of the few times in my life that I have been doing exactly that. I am usually the kind who will pray for something once, maybe twice, and I pretty much consider it done after that.  I can only think of one other instance in praying for someone where I really truly prayed without ceasing to see God heal them.  I know that it is a result of my prayers and the prayers of others that that young man is still breathing on his own.  I thank God for his complete recovery.
           As amazing as Jimmy's story already is, it doesn't really qualify for my resolution.  I must admit, I did really meet my goal today.  I had my opportunity this afternoon at lunch.  I scanned the room looking for an opportunity.  I saw a woman with a four prong cane at the restaurant where we were eating.  I thought, "That's it, that is my word of knowledge, the four prong cane."  As I was doing the "Great Debate" in my head as to whether or not to get up and go over there, I realized that she and the person she was sitting with were getting up to leave.  I completely used that as my excuse not to get up and go over there.   I even thought, oh well, it's early in the day, maybe that is not who God wants you to pray for.  It didn't occur to me until right this minute that God didn't set a LIMIT of one person per day, it was more of a minimum.  God wants to touch ALL of His children.  So using the "oh, it's early in the day it's probably not that person" excuse will not work.  Thank God I know that His mercies are renewed every day and tomorrow will be a new day.  There will be more opportunities to be His hands and feet tomorrow, Thank You God!
          Lesson Learned: Do not overthink the whole thing, just suit up, show up and be willing and obedient no matter what the situation.
