simple prayers

It all started with a simple prayer.........

Last year when I was here in Colorado, I asked the Lord for a special gift, a special sign of His presence with me. So I asked for a shooting star. And He came through. Not only did I see one shooting star, but 6 more! It was such a sweet moment.

So this week, as I made my way here, I asked the Lord for a moose. Not too much to ask right? Well 4 days into it, and still no moose. Plus, the guy at the spa said that moose do not reside in this area, but about an hour from here. Slightly disappointed, I continued to seek my moose.

On the way home from the spa, I started noticing animal tracks in the snow. Something inside me was called to attention. And so I started searching the wooded areas by the road. And thats when I saw it. I actually didnt know what I saw exactly, so we turned the car around. And thats when we saw it. Not one, not two, but three moose! It was amazing. The four of us girls shreaked with joy, got out of the car, and watched as the moose stared us down and then went off galavanting together. It was amazing!

Simple prayers that God must love answering. So simple, yet so full of joy. Who knew a moose could do so much?

It was a great day at the spa. I got a hot rock massage, a facial and then we swam in 24 hot sulfer spring pools. It was pretty awesome! We left smelling like eggs, but with super soft skin and totally relaxed.

Last night we watched "the Kingdom." I was wrecked. I couldnt sleep for 2 hours. My mind kept reliving those images. And my heart was broken. It was hard, no impossible, to ignore the fact that the middle eastern countries live in such hatred, violence and fear. In continuing on with the book "Dangerous Surrender" Im now reading about the nature of evil, and how human beings are all the same. We all have the same capabilities to entertain evil. And we all need Jesus to save us. Wow......
