I've been sick for most of September. I had a cold, then a cough, then a virus that had me on the couch for four days. Then, last week during a friendly office game of wiffle ball I sliced open my toe. Two days later a tendon in my foot got sprained and I couldn't put any weight on my foot without excruciating pain. Because I'm in the support raising process still, I haven't been able to afford health insurance. So, I put my foot up the whole weekend and just hoped it would get better on its own. Then, Sunday night some friends decided to pray over me. 

Now being in my line of work, I've gotten lots of opportunities to see the Lord bring healing; but I've never experienced it myself. And to be honest, part of me wonders if it's because I've never truly NEEDED it before. I've always been able to go to the doctor when necessary. But this time, I needed God to show up. And he did! Literally the pain left instantaneously; I'd been hobbling for two days in a lot of pain and then I could walk! 

Three weeks ago I ran out of makeup and so I asked the Lord if he would give me some new eyeshadow; but I never told anyone. A week later I got a package in the mail from a good friend - in it was enough eye shadow and makeup to last me a year! 

And just last week I thought to myself, I wish I could go to the dentist, it's been awhile.  A supporter called me two days ago and said, hey I've got some extra tithe this month, I'd like to pay for you to go to the dentist. I never even asked, and God just provided! 

It can be scary deciding to live on faith; but I guarantee you, you will never have a better opportunity to trust God and see him deliver like when you have no other option. Part of me wonders - do we just have faith for something to happen when we have no other option? Or, does God show up cause we're his children and he wants to take care of us? Or, is it a marriage of the two?  Appreciate your thoughts.
