Good Morning my Darlins'.... I love you both
I love all of the angels here...
I'm coming out of Shimmie mode just for you....
I have more testimonies to share. God has and is still using me for so many lives which have been changed. Here's another story...
During my Commute on the Morning/Evening Train...
There was a woman, (beautiful goddess size) about in her early 50's (still young
) who always walked with a cane, and I knew she was in pain the way she walked and winced with each step. It always took me out of Shimmie mode when I saw her, and I wanted so much to just hold her and pray God's healing power all over her life. I just felt 'bad' each time I'd see her.
One evening about 3 years ago, I saw her as we're getting off of the train and heading for the escalator to the 'down' platform. I allowed her to go ahead of me and as I stood behind her, I prayed, "Lord please show me what to do." As she walked I could literally 'sense' her pain with each step she took and all I could do was 'care' about what she was going through.
I watched her head for her car in the handicap parking area of the train station which was located about 25 feet from the escalator exit. I maintained a distance and then I called out, "Hi, may I pray for you?"
She looked up at me and frowned, but I gave her a gentle smile and asked her again, "May I pray for you? I noticed you in pain, may I pray?" She nodded, sat down at the driver's seat and allowed me to approach her. I asked if I could hold her hand, she agreed, we bowed our heads and I prayed for her healing. She thanked me, although she was frowning, I knew it was from the pain she was going through. I smiled, said 'God Bless you' and then I left to go home.
For over 2 years
after the prayer, I still watched this woman through all kinds of weather, cold, rainy, bitter winds and snow, yes the hot summers, she still walked with a cane and in pain. Her walk was always tilted to her left side; she had trouble standing up straight. And I continued to 'care' and I would quietly pray for her in silence.
About a year ago, I was on the platform waiting for the train, and I noticed this bright and happy smile and a woman walking with a pep in her step. I mean this lady was 'walking all cute and everything"
It was her! The lady with the cane. Her hair was all done up in a flully soft under curl, she was just smiling and she did not have her CANE! The cane was gone! She was walking on her own. And all I could do was just smile and give God glory.
The thing is, she doesn't recognize me and I'm
NOT offended because this is not about me, but about God and His work and His glory, not mine. I am only His vessel that He flows through. I love it...
She smiles when she sees me and it always brings me out of "Shimmie mode", I smile right back, but I leave her alone. She has what she needs right now, a new life and a new walk and a new talk. She gives God the glory, I can see and feel it in her eyes and in her smile.
The Lord is in control here. I'm just blessed to see His work in people's lives all over this earth.
Nice and Mocha...
I love this life that we live. I love prayer and the power that God so graciously gives us and flows through us. It's not our power but His and it is miraculous that He is even able to use us to His glory. I love being a Christian. Yes, we have challenges, but who doesn't. The difference is that we have Jesus in all that we endure and we are always at peace in this life which He has given us.
Welll, I have more stories...all true. Yes, I am always in "Shimmie mode" but it's still a joy to come out and be a blessing to someone who needs to feel and be loved. I don't mind leaving my quiet time (Shimmie mode) to love someone. For I have been given much...
I love you....
