pray for Michael [VTNM]

i was _sooo_ distracted today .. from the start, i dropped one of my phones (the one i usually use for international students who can call me for free on that number] .. i kept thinking about how could i do this yet *again* :[~~
. . . where could it possibly have dropped..

so i wasn't really focussed at the prayer meeting this morning .. Father graciously lifted my downcast head to see He was in control, He'll take care of it ;)

actually a week ago He povided me with a SIM card that'll be handy to call international students for free!
... maybe Father knew in advance i'd lose that phone! :P
... even though i stored lots & lots of reminders in that phone :S
 so for now i'm using other old old phones that've been out of action for ages ..
may His will be done with that phone i lost. :|

so went out for a walk on a simply divinely beautiful afternoon, calling my lost phone [silly -- i left it on vibrate mode :S] trying to retrace my steps, but all in vain. :(

yesterday i read an email from Elijah Company Mentorship Network on Prayerwalking.
now, Fathers' given me a love for prayer. + a love for walking. what better thing could i 'indulge' my soul & body in than Prayerwalking?
the email talked about: "Take time to listen to what He is saying. Move slowly. Be friendly. Greet people along the walk, and offer to pray for their needs."

i could post the entire email but its quite long - email me at  HaHaikHa@gmail.com if you want the full email ;)
 
after walking about an hour i came across Michael, sitting by himself & thought of what i'd read in that email mentioned before.
 
we chatted about mostly insignificant stuff, then he had to go ..


he's non religious, to which i told him i was too. this surpised him.
[does that suprise you too? i belong to the "recovering pharasees" club . . . i'm still in the process of getting a pharasectomy]
 
i don't know why but i seemed hesitant to 'steer' the conversation to the gospel :S
 
what was i thinking??!! :|
 
just wanted to share i have my off days too :S
 
really praying to focus back on Him
i felt this phone was becoming a bit of an idol for me . . .  iv been praying He'd show me any idols i still hold onto & _crush_ them so i might worship Him exclusively as He deserves.
maybe this was His way of honoring my prayer?! ;)
 
anyhow, He will provide. i just gotta stay focussed & trust Him :D
easier said than done, but sometimes its easier done than said! [because we like to complicate everything & live in the imagined realm - REALITY = GOD IS TRUSTWORTHY. PERIOD!
