Day 53 - WARNING!!! This Might Mess Up Your Theology

         I know this isn't really praying for a person, but it is REALLY COOL so I am going to write about it anyway.  It is nearly midnight and I am just finishing up for the day.  This whole week has been incredibly hectic and stressful.  I am wiped out.  I come upstairs and get ready to write this and the laptop is dead.  I mean really dead.  It was plugged in and wouldn't even register that it was plugged in.  I've had problems with it in the past and the battery won't hold a charge, so it stays plugged in all the time. 

         I sat down on the bed and picked it up.  No lights on the front.  It even felt lifeless in my hand.  No warmth at all .  Dead.  I am so tired and did NOT want to go back downstairs and use the desktop tonight.  It's cold downstairs and my bed was just calling me.  I sat there and messed with the power cord checking to make sure it was securely plugged in at all points.  Still no signs of life.  Kind of half talking to God, I thought I wonder if it would work to release God's power into my laptop. 

        I know that this might sound ridiculous, but whatever.  I started praying over my laptop and just allowing God's power that is in me to flow out into my laptop.  At first nothing happened. I had my eyes closed and the first time I opened them, I was SURE I was going to see some type of life, a light or something. Nothing.  I closed my eyes and prayed again.  Still nothing happened.  I was just about to give up and go downstairs or just go to sleep and write this in the morning.  I felt like I should pray one more time.  I closed my eyes and began to pray in my spirit and all of a sudden I heard a slight whir! I opened my eyes and saw the battery lights were lit up.  Yes, I pretty much freaked out!

         God is so sweet!  He knew how tired I was but that I still want to honor my commitment to this resolution.  When I was about to come up short in my faith and my fortitude He filled in the gap!  He made a way when there seemed no way.  I think that is His specialty!  My laptop was pretty hopeless... and He brought it Hope!

          I know it may seem silly to some people.  For me, it was my best friend sharing His goodness with me just because He loves me!

         At prayer today we got to pray with a young lady who was diagnosed with glaucoma.  She had quite a bit of fluid behind her eyes.  She had come for prayer once before and really been touched by God's sweet spirit and His love and care for her.  She is going to the optometrist tomorrow to have her eyes rechecked and just wanted us to pray for her again.  As we prayed with her, fluid began to drain out of her eyes.  It wasn't tears, it was actual fluid.  We prayed for her, her family, and just spoke the Lord's words of encouragement in to her life.  I know that the report from the doctor tomorrow will be a good one! We serve a Big God who is Good All the Time!  I am so in love with this AWESOME GOD!
