Just want to share something that may seem small to most, but is a typical kindness the Lord extends to me....I can be judged wrongly for this but Ill take my chances...It is glorifying God that compels me.. I needed to jump start my Jetta...It runs great but sits for long periods of time..So I have to do this fairly often...My daughter Abigail brought a friend over to hang out while Im cleaning the garage and hooking up my Jetta to my other vehicle. The entire time they were here I just couldnt get this thing to charge...Its a new battery...I know theres no issues...Just dead from sitting.... After about 45 minutes, I wont lie...I was frustrated...I have alot to do before dark...There was still no life..I believed the Lord wanted me to pray out loud in front of these three witnesses: Abigail, her friend, and Emma...So I just walked over to them with no introduction and said Lord, Im just a forsaken woman, and I need your help. Will you please start this car? (I often refer to myself as a forsaken woman when I am appealing to God for guy stuff like cars, lawnmowers, the right tool, etc.) He knows what I mean...I have to survive so often without male help Im constantly needing God to do guy stuff for me...He pulls through most of the time..I get into the car out of range of their ears and attempt to start it...Nothing...No life...At all...And then I pray right there and I said something like this...Lord, I need you in things like this...You urged me to pray out loud in front of those girls...I beg you to use this opportunity to prove yourself and confirm my faith before them. I realize I live in a generation that insults you continually by throwing up prayers when they want something while not living in obedience before you and walking with you. But Sir I cannot help the generation I was born in...Im trying to seek you, Im trying to serve you..I havent always lived in holiness, but Im certainly trying now. You are justified to remain silent..But will you please show yourself to these ladies? I will thank you openly oh Lord! It immediately started with no hesitancy as if it had full battery power. I praised Him and thanked Him right there.....I jumped out of the car, went over to the girls and began to praise Him...But they knew. They had witnessed the entire thing. I heard Abby say oh I know...there are things He does for me.....And shes thinking....Recalling....Bringing to remembrance.....That brings me joy. I think sometimes Hes just waiting for us to cry out...So He can move....Skeptics are free to explain it away...But I know....Abby knows...This is my God! Phil 4:6
