We prayed for everything from our nation to our city, our schools, our family and friends, and everything in between, from 2300 hours Friday till 0600 hours Saturday, with short praise and worship "intermissions" between prayer sessions. I cannot stress enough the amazingness of it all. Really, I can't. I can barely think of any half-decent words to use here, out of my alarmingly sizable vocabulary arsenal. Basically, I'm darn near speechless. Which, if you know me, is kind of a big deal. ^^;;
I pray that we never lose that wonder that God Almighty hears our prayers, Who holds the universe in the span of His hand. That I never go back to my previously pathetic "prayer life", but continue to press on in growing in the Lord, in spending more and more time in prayer and in the Word and in fellowship with other believers. I am such a wretch, and it just highlights how amazing the Lord is to not only hear my feeble prayers, but to pray for me when I don't know what to pray, to intercede for me constantly before the Father! It just blows my face off that He would bother, but He goes out of His way to draw me in to Him! (@_@) Wow.
In other news, Stephan is back for another week and a half or so on leave. Hooray! <(^.^<)(>^.^)>\(^o^)/ Unfortunately, when he stopped by our house to visit, I was in the Crusade Office making calls, so I missed him. But I'm sure I'll see him around soon, so it's okay. Do keep him up in your prayers, though; it's unbelievably hard to go through what he has to on a daily basis in Afghanistan! Pray that the Lord uses him to minister to his buddies there, and for His continual hand of protection upon him, and all those in the 10th Mountain Division (and in all of our armed forces while you're at it).
Until next time, hooray for Jesus! (^v^)v~Victory!
