The Jane Child One Hit Wonder Room

I am so exhausted...my mom has been in the hospital...and I had such anger towards god this morning....it frightened me! With alot of prayer, and some nice "talk" privately with mom this afternoon, however....I have had the burden lifted off of my shoulders...and certainly thanks to the power of prayer that somehow....I don't quite know how....I could "feel" that prayer...You know...Pastor Rich challenged a thought someone came up with at our LIFE group that it is so much easier to obey wisdom by having people in our life who are tangible. God, in a sense....is NOT tangible through the eyes(but I guess those are called "miracles")...some say they can hear god speak audibaly(which, by the way...is an awesome sound in "Raiders of the Lost Ark"!)...I guess you could say you can smell god through his creations like flowers, perfumes(which he gave "creative thought" as a gift to those that make them)and such..."O TASTE and see that the Lord is good"...food is a wonderful gift he makes...interestingly...used in a bible verse I used with clients that went to a church that studied a verse in 1 Corinthians this week(chapter 6, verse 13...which is actually about SEXUAL immorality...but anyways "food is for the stomach and the stomach is for food)...but anyways...the fact that he cannot be another person that you can physically see...and the fact that with "Oprah" and "Dr. Phil", one can easier guess what the message is than they can by opening up the holiest of holy books and taking the time to read it lends creedence to the thought I had, which was "Yes...God is our father, and he takes great pleasure in creating us to struggle and seeing how we are gonna deal with being sinful and struggling ourselves into following the right path, and laying all our burdens at his feet, and just finding ways to please him...love with each other, pleasures, and song!
Well, let me throw this at you....THE POWER OF PRAYER IS TANGIBLE....I didn't believe it for many, many hours over these past couple of days...and for that, I am ashamed. But BY praying....I have re-gained that confidence....and my faith is even stronger for it....and I'm gonna go cry after I put out this other thought about Proverbs 3....
3:21-26..."My Child, don't lose sight of good planning and insight. Hang on to them, for they fill you with life and bring you honor and respect.(which, to be honest...I believe IS tangible in good times, but non-existant in bad) They keep you safe(trusting in your spiritual guides, methinks)on your way and keep your feet from stumbling. You can lie down without fear(the discussion about how as kids, we went to bed upset when our parents wouldn't let us cry to them until they were ready to let us)....
I'd finish the thought....but it's time for bed
