I decided since I would be home for a while, I would start blogging again as I read through a certain book of the bible. I used to really enjoy this before, and since I will have some time on my hands and a new perspective....this was a great way to spend some of my time. I wanted to pick a book of the bible that I hadn't read in a while, and in the end choose Acts.
Today there was a verse that just jumped off the page at me....Act 1:14 "They all joined together constantly in prayer".
This spoke to me because of all the things I have been going through over the last few weeks with my back surgery. So many amazing times of prayer have happened since then. Amazing feeling and hearing the love of God through other people.
The first was when Dean and the kids laid hands on me, and prayed. For YEARS I prayed for my husband to just try church with me....now I have a fabulous christian husband he is completely the spiritual head of this household. I cried and cried.
The next was at work, the day before my last day there. I ended up with a church pastor in my office to talk about a mortgage. 8 bankers in my branch, and he ended up in my office. I don't believe that God does coincidences. Anyways, after we talked for a while he noticed I was in pain. And he just started praying. It was amazing. It made me laugh because he didn't even ask. He said he had given up asking if he was confident it was needed, and he was being told by God to do it. It was exactly what I needed.
The next that sticks out was with my husband right before the surgery. One thing he said that truly touched my heart was that he wanted me to know that when they rolled me away for surgery, and he could no longer hold my hand, Jesus would be there still to hold it. I reminded myself of that many times before they started.
And the most recent was when a dear friend just stopped in to see how I was. I was so down that day. I was crying, and worried it would never get better.
Then there she was...again no coincidences in God's world. Exactly what I needed. She laid her hands on me and sweetly prayed for me for healing, and a lift in spirits, and guidance and clarity from direction. It was perfect!!
To me, there is nothing better than someone taking the time to just sit and pray to Our Father for me, with me.
More tomorrow hopefully.......
Love, Libby
