well i've been up since 4am. I woke up and layed in bed for about 30 minutes trying to go back to sleep but couldn't because i kept thinking about what I was going to paint today. so after my time of procrastination i decided maybe God knew I needed to go ahead and get up...since we never know what the day holds, why not go ahead and use whatever time i have been given. I was able to get up and read for a bit in my bible. I was reading about the centurion soldier that sent some jewish elders to Jesus to ask the centurions servant's healing. Jesus heads to the home of the centurion and he is stopped outside of the home and told that the centurion believes he's not worthy for his Lord to step into his house, and the centurion does something to show great faith. He says "say the word, and my servant will be healed. For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, 'Go' and he goes, and that one, 'Come,' and he comes. I say to my servant, 'Do This,' and he does it."
I would like to be able to understand faith like this and it to become a part of me and who I am. I pray that everyone that surrounds aunt carla will be people like this, people that understand authority. People that understand who truly holds the power of life and death, and that have faith enough to understand that her healing isn't in what's able to be seen. I hope i can be one of those people. Lord help me to be.
I'm posting up yesterdays painting in my blog today. Sometimes i may not be able to post the pics of paintings everyday on my blog, but I will definitely have them on my facebook page. thanks for reading everyone and please continue to pray for aunt carla if you have a healing word to speak.
