~God's Provision, sweaty armpits~

As usual, I was talking to God in the 10 minute walk from my car to my hospital. Usually, I pray for God to take care of the patients I tend to, for Him to give me wisdoma and insight, patience, and whatever else I may need to be equipped for a successful day...

This day, I surprised myself at this line of our conversation, "God, help me answer them well..." I briefly wondered why in the world I said that, and what in the world did I mean by that. Quickly I brushed it off with "i must still be sleeping..." and "i must get coffee now."

During the shift my manager approaches me and says he would like for me to be interviewed by the people who inspect the hospital units...a flashback to my morning prayer got me to realize i was experiencing the Holy Spirit asking on behalf of me the things I didnt realize I will need. I felt a hot wave come over me...at that point it was from the above realization as well as from the pressure of being interviewed. It was a wave of peace, though, because I knew in my heart it would be alright.

Being a visual person, I had created a picture of 2 people interviewing me and everything going smooth...when time came to my interview we walked all the way downstairs to the basement, to the big meeting room holding a panel of about 20 people, who have the power to shut down a hospital, who make all the units look like we just opened, who are typing and recording this interview, I smiled politely and nodded to everyone through my silent heart attack.

God has provision. The Holy Spirit will see to it that you are taken care of...because through it, God is glorified, as He is always worthy.

The interview was a blessing, a personal miracle...and although it was God who set everything up and sent me peace, and my voice didn't quiver and I was calm, and I didnt forget my name...my armpits were still sweaty. Not because of 40 eyes looking and 40 ears listening, but because the Creator of this Universe saw to it that this little detail in this little person's life will be handled to leave the little person speechless, humbled, and full of praise and joy at what He can do, what he does and what he did on this day.

Day 21?

I havent written here in a long time...but I'll call this Day 21. I will pu up a post anytime while I'm on the Daniel's Fast...

Currently I am reading a book called "First we have Coffee" by Margaret jensen. Another great find in the good ole goodwill book collection =)

it was written before I was born and doesnt look really appealing to the eye, but my love for coffee took over so I went ahead and bought it!

Little did I know...this is an amazing inspirational story of a woman's life with a missionary Father and a mom that is exceptionally close to God. The whole book is an example of devotion, courage, faith, love...a way to live Godly really. I love it!
Not only that, but it also glorifies God and includes many miracles they have experienced first hand. Goosebump worthy!

here's a quote i adore...the author, a little girl here, writes about the donated shoes she got that were too big and too ugly

"I thought about what mama said, but I also remembered how papa preached about how God can move mountains if we pray, believing...In desperation I prayed! "Dear God, the bible says if we have faith we can move mountains. I don't need any mountains moved, I just need two pairs of shoes moved. Thank You."
