Tonight I went to the gym and as I was running laps around the indoor track and rocking out to some awesome Jesus Culture worship music I notice this guy limping. I didn't notice him until I was really in the spirit. Sorry if that is weird that I worship when I jog... but that is one of my favorite places to worship. Plus, it makes running those laps soooooo much better! ( I am not one who loves to exercise! )
So one of the last running laps around the track I noticed this guys limp as I ran past him. Immediately I thought, I am totally going to ask this guy if I can pray for him. But I didn't lap him again. He must have gotten off of the track or something. So I prayed and I asked the Lord for opportunity. The whole time I was lifting weights I was praying, "God please don't let me blow it if You give me the opportunity." I felt in my heart for sure that God was going to give me an open door on this one. I thought, "Well, maybe he will come over in the weight area?" But he didn't.
When I finished lifting, I decided to go and jog another mile before heading out. When I got back on the track, there he was again! So I jogged my way around the track. Just as I was starting to catch up to him, he headed down the stairs and before I could reach the stairwell he was already beyond the turnstile. I have to admit I was a tad bit disappointed. Then I realized that he was walking out with a girl that I have several classes with. So I began the plot to ask her on when I see her on Wednesday what his name is and why he had a limp and see if she can introduce us so that I can pray for him. I know that God wants to heal him. So I will wait and pray for the opportunity in the meantime!
