God's power

So on Sunday night I set my mind to something. We have this giant giant tree in our backyard that is waay taller than all the others, and no one has climbed yet because it's pretty hard to get up into. I had one of those inspirational moments where I decided I was GOING to climb that tree no matter what it took. So, to make a long story short, after much frustration, a rope, long cozy sweats and a sweatshirt I got to the top. I sat up there for an hr enjoying the view until my face started itching. It then hit me that the vine stuff I'd been climbing thru the past 10 minutes was most likely not some kind of flower. I dismissed it tho, determined not to ruin the moment. Well the next day I woke up with a face that resembled a big pink balloon, and plenty of itchiness to go with it. I got to the doctor and they gave me lots of steroids and benadryl to take, and I basically had to wait it out. I really did look positively awful, but the doctor told me it would take at least 5 days for the redness and swelling to go away, and it would probly still be itchy for the next two weeks. Haha I dont think I've ever regretted climbing a tree more.. its ridiculously inconvenient to have a messed up face. Anyway, to the point. Last night I had my devotions on the swingset out back, and God prompted me to spend some serious time in prayer, cuz I've realllly been lacking in this recently. So I poured out my heart to God, and without even really knowing what I was saying, I asked Him for a miracle. Lot's of times when my life get's dull, and my devotions are slacking, I feel like I want so badly to see God's presence and feel Him move. So I prayed that He would work in some big way that I could see, whether it be in someone else I kno and love, or in my life. I didn't pray that my poison ivy would go away, but I think God knew in my heart that I was perfectly willing for Him to take it away early if that was His plan. Honestly, I was really believing in God that He would move in a big way. Ever since youth camp, God has really been merciful to me and showed me to put more and more faith in Him, and what He can do. Last night, I went to bed with a red, swollen, and itchy face. This morning I woke up with a normal colored, normal size face, and the itchiness has gone waay down. :) To some ppl, this might just seem like luck that it healed up a couple days early. But I see it as God once again answering my prayers, and moving in my life in big ways. This is just another one of the many reasons God gives me to put more faith in Him, and what He can do. The bible promises that with God, all things are possible. It's ridiculous how easily we can stray from really believing that when the world's promises seem to be so enticing and full. But it's only the mercy of God that brings us back to the cross and shows us what a powerful, awesome God our savior is.
