So apparently that spirit of boldness I had going on the last two days seems to have left the building today. I had a perfectly lovely and easy day, after having lunch with two of my most favorite women and mentors I made a quick run into Walmart because I needed to get a birthday card for my dad and I had some time to kill before picking up my kids. As I wandered aimlessly around Wally World I saw a lady with an oxygen tank and at least two people in wheelchairs... and I walked right by. I even circled back without thinking and ran into most of them AGAIN! My spirit was wanting to pray with them, however my flesh and my mind were not even paying attention, in fact I wonder if we were on the same planet!
I spent the rest of the day in a fog of the flesh. It's not really a bad thing, I just wasn't paying attention to God and when or where He wanted to move. In hindsight it really kind of bums me out a little. Thank God that His mercy is renewed daily. Tomorrow is a new day!
And God in His infinite goodness, and I know this is going to seem ridiculous that I would call this good, but I was talking to God tonight during my prayer time and I told Him that I was sorry for not paying attention to Him very much today and that I didn't complete my NYR for the day. All of a sudden I felt a sharp pain in my right hand and it began to swell. I can only figure that I got bit by a spider of some sort in my basement. The itching and swelling was continuing to get worse. So I prayed over myself. I am happy to report the pain left immediately and the swelling is almost completely gone! Glory to God! Note to Self: don't wait til 11pm to pray for someone!
