Shower of Power

I think I've mentioned my shower situation. I have one. I wish I had a tub. But what I've realized over the past couple of weeks is that my shower has become quite the prayer closet. Because I can't chill and read in a tub I have turned my attention towards talking with the Lord. I turn on my I Tunes and have a shower with Power. (I lived in California for a summer and we literally had a shower of power list in our showers that was changed out regularly- it had prayer requests we all prayed for while we showered.) Anyway.

So tonight I'm talking with the Father about where I am. In the US. In October. First time in 3 years I haven't spent time in Uganda during October. It makes my heart a little sad. I miss my friends. And it makes me wonder even more what the Father who knows all has in store for my future. Oh how I long to know some days. Other days I am content to rest. Lately- restless.

And I'm praying for a dear friend. And her family. And what the Lord has in store for her. For we know the Lord "ordained our days" before we were even born. And He knew what was coming long ago. I don't think He is ever surprised. But since I usually don't know what those plans are- I pray. I give each moment back to Him. And let Him be I AM. Because I know I am not. But oh how HE IS.

Anyway- I'm praying and talking and hearing yet again the Lord speak "Everlasting Love." That I am HIS. That my friend is HIS. And He loves us infinitely better and more than we can imagine. As we are having this discussion (the Lord and I) this song by Shane and Shane comes on:

"There is none like you
No one else can touch my heart like you do
I could search for all eternity long and find
There is none like you

Your mercy flows like a river wide
And healing comes in your name
Helpless children are safe in your arms
There is none like you

Whom have I in heaven but you?"

And it brought me to tears. Sweet tears. Thankful tears.

On the days I doubt I'm in the right place. That I'm doing what I need to be doing. That I feel the most out there and alone. He has a way of speaking truth and singing songs that touch my heart in ways that I don't completely understand.

I think today I am most grateful that "Healing comes in your name." For the healing of my heart and the healing of our bodies.

Don't know why I needed to put this in the bloggy world. But there it is. In process and imperfect but grateful for a Loving Father who is perfect and loves me. And grateful that I can approach His throne boldly for me and on behalf of those I love.
Wow.

Love it. And anytime you just need a bath, though, feel free to go up to "the big house" and use mine there. Or Emily's - I don't think she would mind, either. Or we've got one available here, too - and Jack would even let you play with his rubber letters and numbers and basketball goal. Good times.

Praying for you, Friend.
