The Protector of All Things

When Tim and I were on vacation a few weeks ago, we left our hotel realizing that we had forgotten to put away something of value in our room. We were afraid that someone working at the hotel would be able to come in our room and take the thing we left lying out. Tim asked me if I thought we should go back and put it away. I thought for a second and then had a sense of peace come over me as I "heard a voice in my head" say why don't you just pray and ask God to watch over your room. I announced this to Tim and we decided to pray. The only thing is, we were driving down the highway by this time. Closing your eyes to pray didn't seem like the best idea at the time. So, we tried something we'd never tried before. We prayed together in the car and we kept our eyes open while doing it. It was very uncomfortable because we were doing something we had always done but doing it in a different way. We got the same results too, by the way. ;) When Tim and I pray together, it's like a tag team, almost. His job is to start the prayer out and finish it. He takes on the majority of the issues we pray about and when something comes to my mind, I talk. It was really interesting praying together while driving down the road because no one else on the road, in the restaurants, or walking on the sidewalks had any idea we were praying. They only saw our mouths moving and would naturally assume Tim and I were talking to one another. Everyone was totally oblivious to the fact that Tim and I were having a conference meeting with The Almighty God!

We got back to our room, after doing our Christmas shopping, to find everything just as we had left it. You know, God is truly the best security system to have. He's very reliable and as far as being easy to trust, well, that part is up to you.

Happy Birthday, Jesus!!
