Day 23

               It's Sunday again, one of my favorite days of the week!  Pastor preached on being in the right place and the right time, for such a time as this. I got the opportunity today to be at the right place and at the right time.  
               After church today the kids and I were out having lunch at a restaurant, as we were sitting down to eat a woman with a neck brace on came in with her family.  They were seated right behind us.  The entire time from the moment we ordered our food til we finished eating, I was thinking about praying for this woman and what I was going to say to her.  So many thoughts ran through my mind, I can't even begin to list them.  The really cool thing though was that I did not get nervous at all! No butterflies, no hot sweats, nothing! The kids and I are finished our food, and following my Pastor's advice that people will be nicer if you have your kids around, I asked for volunteers to go with me.  None of the kids were overly willing to participate. 
             After several minutes of cajoling and near bribery I reasoned that I was not going to get participation on this.  I got up from my chair and walked over to the woman with the neck brace.  There was no Hallelujah moment, the clouds did not part and I did not see some golden glow, there were no tingles and not even really an push from the Holy Spirit.  I got up and went over there without having a single "feeling" that I needed to.  All I was armed with was the knowledge that God doesn't want us sick or hurting.  This is a huge triumph for me.  I am always laying out fleeces or putting conditions on my obedience, "God if you'll do (x)  then I know that thing that I think you are asking me to do is you." when I got over to her table, all 3 kids were there behind me.  We prayed with her and you could see God touched her right there at that table that day.  I believe with all my heart, my mind, my soul and my strength that the surgery she had just had will have worked and be healed supernaturally fast and there will be no more surgeries.
God is so good!  The only word of knowledge that I had today was that she was wearing a neck brace and that wearing a neck brace is not in God's plan. Thank You Father for helping me be obedient even to the tiniest nudge!
