Thanks for the Prayer about the Tires

On Monday mornings I meet with some other ladies for prayer. This morning when we met, our Pastor's wife was praying for me. She specifically prayed over some happenings in my day and she prayed for the Lord to protect even the tires on my car! When prayertime was over I thanked her for that prayer because unbeknownst to her I had actually had trouble with one of my tires being low on air pressure over the weekend. Rob filled it and instructed me to "watch it". We drove on it and it was doing fine.



So, I left the meeting and drove to the airport, picked up my daughter and on the way home I felt a real need to put gas in my car because I knew I had a meeting later in the evening and I didn't want to gas up after dark. While I was at the gas station I decided to check out the tire. After all what else do you do to pass the time while pumping gas. I bent down and looked at the tire and there in front of me as big as life I could see on the top of my tire, a screw! So, I immediately thanked the Lord, and the Pastor's wife for praying and headed off to the tire store to have it repaired.



By the time I went to my evening meeting it was all taken care of and all before dark! Isn't God so good to me? I am so thankful that He cares about all the detail in my life, not just today, but everyday. I am also thankful for the prayer and the power which gets unleashed when we pray for one another.

Getting Back to the Basics

About a year ago our church was led of the Lord to become a Disaster Shelter. The shelter has actually been opened twice. One of these times was this past week. The church housed 90 folks who had no place to go because their homes were flooded. One elderly lady woke up to see her dog swimming and an emergency search crew came and took her out and brought her to the shelter. The stories the workers shared with us this morning during prayer time were so fantastic. I can't tell you how excited I am for what the Lord has done through our church. More people were coming tonight to wait in line for showers because they are still unable to use their own homes or they are homeless as their homes have been destroyed by floodwaters.

I think in today's world we wait on the government to provide for everyone's needs even though the job was clearly given to the church to minister to the needs of others. It is so wonderful to be a part of this marvelous work.
