During prayer, I decided to walk out to the parking lot. I noticed this white rock in the middle of the blacktop. I picked it up and took it with me. It had nothing spectacular about it, it couldn't do much in comparison to myself. But I kept it in my hand the entire time I prayed. Once prayer ended, I went to go back inside, but I still had the rock. For some reason, I really didnt want to put it back down. I kenw I had to because the parking lot is where it needed to be. In the end, I grudgingly let it return to the pavement and went back inside.
          I asked God what this whole experience was about during my prayer time later. I believe that experience demonstrated how God feels about us during our prayer and worship time. He picks us up out of this world and cares for us, even though we are nothing compared to Him. When we are praying and worshiping, we get a glimpse of what heaven will be like. We are taken out of this world where we get run over and stepped on and come to His presence for just that short time. God would like to keep us there all the time, but that is not our purpose. This world still has souls that need Jesus and it is our job to reach them. God must place us back in the dirt and grime so that His people can be found. We must always remember that God has us here for a purpose and whether your job is a firemen or a CEO, your purpose is to spread the good news and to show His love and mercy through our every day actions. "We all fall short of the glory of God" but "love covers over a multitude of sins".

          The other day I said I had something good to post here. This is not that post but something different lol Anyways, I was reading Leading With A Limp last night and I came across another quote that I liked alot. It says this:

          "Courage never takes away fear; courage simply redistributes fear to get the job done. Courage is fear that has said its prayers."

          What a great quote! To have courage does not mean that we dont have fears. Any situation requiring courage is going to be fearful, full of wrong turns to make and bad roads to journey down. Some roads will look good from here, but eventually take a turn for the worst. This is why the last part of the quote is my favorite. When we are faced with the difficult decisions that require courage, we pray. We pray becuz we serve an ALMIGHTY GOD! Our God will guide us to places we could never have dreamed! But we have to learn to make the hard decisions....through prayer. Prayer is our strength.

          I had a great amazing Holy Spirit-inspired post to put here...and then we computer deleted everything I wrote before I could post it :( I shall try again later, right now I am very discouraged. I wrote for 15 min on this blog and it got deleted. Soooo discouraging!

          Yesterday I felt the beginnings of a sickness coming on. So I took medicine all day hoping it would go away and it didnt. So before I went to bed, I took my medicine. Only it was daytime medicine. I think I got a total of 3 hrs of sleep. So my word of wisdom for you is this: never take daytime medicine before bed. Ever! It will keep you up forever and ever and ever and ever. Ech!
