Day 8

          Day 8 is here and almost over.  The last 7 days of this resolution nothing seemed to be the way I intended it to when I started this resolution.  As of yet, I still had no prayed for a single random person in some random place like walmart.  To be honest I was telling God last night that I was ready to do it and to bring it on!  As with most of the days it was evening time and I still hadn't prayed with anyone yet.  The kids and I went to dinner with my friend Amy and her two kids.  As we finished eating dinner, my son noticed a man with crutches leaving the restaurant.  My friend turned to me and asked if I had prayed for anyone yet today.  Of course I hadn't.  My son says to me, "Mom, why don't you go and pray for that guy over there."  Quickly I said, "No" with a nervous laugh.  Mason replied, "What are you a big chicken?" Yes, Mason, Yes your mother is a big chicken!  The guy walked out the door.

         I believe that little encounter was just God's way of reminding me that His ways are higher than my ways and He knows better than me so I better just sit back and be patient and enjoy our little journey together.

         God didn't want me to miss out on fulfilling my NYR for the day, so He sent me Cindy later that night.  My friend Cindy called and she had been under the weather all day with her face swollen and upset stomach issues.  I started out praying the very best prayers I could pray.  Of course not much happened! :o) But we continued to talk for quite sometime about God and His infinite goodness and by the time the conversation was coming to a close I asked her how she was feeling and how the swelling in her face was.  That was when she realized that her stomach was no longer upset and the swelling was almost completely gone in her face! Glory to God! 

          He is so Amazing! He didn't touch her because I said the right words or did the right thing.  But as we spoke of His goodness and kindness and mercy, my friend was healed!
