Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to post for awhile because my computer’s on the fritz. It crashed over Christmas while I was trying to install my wonderful new ipod. And ever since…it’s been only have half working.
HOW have we become so reliant upon technology?? Specifically, our computers. (Sigh) I just don’t have an answer. This much I know, tho – my posts will be fewer and farrer (is that a word? Probably not…) between until this machine can see a doctor.
My family has been so sick. I mean, probably sicker than we’ve been…ever. It’s gone through every single person living in this household, and even my holiday visitors (I’m still pleading forgiveness for that!). And when, on the third straight night of 3:00 a.m. laundry loads and cleaning up my kids’ throw up – I raised my head to heaven and said (out loud), “Lord, I’m done! PLEASE heal my family,” I realized something.
I don’t know if I ever actually voiced that request to God in the first several days of sickness. And really, I do that alot. Why do I just assume that God knows that’s my desire – this time for healing, other times for other things? Why do I NOT voice my needs and prayer requests to God, just expecting Him to know what I’m wanting? I understand that He knows our inner most desires. I understand that He knows our thoughts before we even think them, and yet…we need to ask. It’s not because He doesn’t know what you want until you tell him. He just wants to hear it from your mouth. We simply need to ask…
