My internet has been down for the past couple of days so I haven't been able to update on anything. I guess it was a good thing that I didn't have access to internet at home because it gave me more time to finish this book I'd been reading called "Left To Tell." It's about a Rwandan holocaust survivor telling the story of how she survived a genocide that left millions of people brutally mutilated and murdered. She talks of how God had protected her through the journey and how she was able to forgive the man who had killed her family through the grace of God.
After reading this book, my heart felt eager to do two things.
1. Pray my heart out.
2. Forgive.
It was amazing how much Immaculee prayed during her time hiding out from killers, and it was miraculous how God answered her prayers for protection and forgiveness. The devotion she had left me wanting to get down on my knees and just pray. I've been finding myself talking to God lately...just randomly. I used to talk to myself a lot...(strange, yes...) but now it's like I have conversations with God everywhere I go. Maybe that's why I've been wanting just to be by myself, physically. When you talk so much in your head, you kind of get tired of talking out loud...Doesn't really make sense...or maybe it does. I don't know.
I'm at Barnes and Noble right now...mooching off their internet..tee hee. I just needed to share about this book. It's amazing and could very well change your mind about forgiving the unforgivable. I believe so much more in the power of forgiveness and prayer now. I don't think it was a coincidence that I noticed this book lying on the coffee table at an Emmanuel meeting one night. God sure does move in mysterious ways.
Alrighty, I gotta get outta here. I think they're beginning to suspect that I'm not really doing homework...hee hee. =P
