A NEW day!

Thank you all so much for lifting me in prayer! I have been fighting this little battle for several weeks (maybe a month). I knew it was an attack, I just couldn't do anything about it. At first, it was subtle, the "I don't know what is up but I feel awful" thing. Then as I began to really look at things I could clearly see it was an attack. The problem was I would get several mini victories and find the little sneaky snake returning for another round.

I began isolating more and more, and as a result I felt (get ready for a HUGE revelation here) disconnected! Ahem... Anyway, I could see what was happening and began to force myself to get back into the game with humans again. So, last night I went to church and during prayer time - I went up for prayer. I felt a relief immediately. I was not doing this alone. I had someone pray for me 2 weeks ago and felt better but this was one of those things you need someone to do the 'warfare' kind of prayer over you.

I wasn't intending on going for prayer, my heart WASN'T pounding out of my chest, but I decided if this couple I knew became available BEFORE prayer time was over - then I would go. They came open and I about ran to them. I could hardly tell them about my battle and they began praying. Since being in Alabama, it has been A LONG TIME since I have had anyone pray for me that KNEW me. I know God can and DOES work through strangers but I was in need of the kind of prayer that someone who knows you prays - the tell that devilish attack to go away kind of praying.

I felt such a release and as though 1000 pounds fell off of my shoulders. I felt light, free and awake again. Like the fog was lifted. I could see clearly again. I am so thankful for all you ladies, in my blog world, who lifted me up via your prayers and your kind (and silly Ginger) words. It was just the boost I needed. It was the lift that kept me from staying home. So thanks to you and thanks especially to my Father God who knows what I have need of before I do!
