Day 3000 : To the I’ll-pray-for-you people

Leave a reply

The people you unconsciously pity might be living great lives – that’s my message to the world

 

It’s 1: 49 PM on day 3000 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, send time outside, read a Bible verse and do some work

 

Today my thoughts turned to the I’ll-pray-for-you people: To the I’ll-pray-for-you people you may be surprised to know that I don’t even pray for me (I mean I do but not for the reasons one might think – I pray to be good, kind and honest even when it’s hard) I mostly pray for other people I pray for children in hospitals, for the elderly in their autumn years, for the babies at Breath of Life to be adopted by families as loving as the Riellys or reunited with capable relatives, for people in Syria and the #WesternSahara, for the health, happiness and success of my family, friends and my Superheroes too…i don’t pray to walk because the fact that I can’t walk is not the centre of my life nor is it the definition of me.

May our actions match our prayers– that’s my wish for the world.

 

It’s 12 : 40 PM on day 2679 of my journey towards independence and I managed to pray, read  Isaiah 43:19, go to church, promote my 50 New Feet Campaign benefiting MiracleFeet – raised  $6 826 only $5 674 more to raise by June 17, 2018 to help 50 kids with clubfoot.

 

Today I was reminded that it doesn’t help for me to pray to God to help me do the right thing even when it’s hard if I don’t choose to do the right thing when it’s hard.

“God only gives three answers to prayer: 1. Yes! 2. Not yet. 3. I have something better in mind.” – Women of History

 

It’s 12  : 10 PM on day 1256 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth, pray,  read Nehemiah 13, publish my Disability of the Day feature,  feed myself All Bran Flakes for breakfast,practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – nobody donated so far today but Anonymous made a $20 donation yesterday   (thanks again Anonymous  :) ) which brings my total raised to $355.81 only need to raise $644.19 more to reach goal THANK YOU to all of you for your ongoing support I REALLY appreciate it 🙂

 

This morning I was thinking about all the priest who would come to our house and end a prayer by praying for me specifically back then I felt really singled out when that happened but now I can’t help feeling gratitude for all the prayers ever prayed for me I think it’s in large part due to those prayers that most things I do seem to work out so their prayers are being answered just not in the way that they probably expected.   Have you come to realize that I have something better in mind is sometimes a better response to a prayer than yes?
