Musings of a Purple Circle

I always knew prayer was powerful but it isn't until you see things start to happen in your own life that things really start to click.  Last week, I had a moment with Patricia about school... working so hard to achieve my dreams... and this is all I get sort of things.  So, we prayed a lot for a better week at school and viola!  It's amazing what God can do in our lives if we just ask!  So, I've been praying a lot more...thanking Him a LOT more... praying for God to bring someone into my life and let them stay!  I've been hurt so many times and yet I can still love without condition!  God has given me SUCH a capacity to love. So, where is he?  Where is my Godly guy?  It's hard when God answers us with silence.  I try to be patient but that's an area I wasn't blessed greatly in.  So, until he answers me with something other than no or silence... I remind myself over and over again that God may delay but He doesn't disappoint! 

A few things I've learned/done through faith this summer.

*Learning to trust God... not just knowing it but actually doing it.
*Praying out loud with someone else for the first time.
*Praying more in general.
*Volunteering at church has taught me that the glory isn't for me - it's for Him.  I always knew that.. but never knew what it felt like. I can feel Him working in my heart.
*Learning to be content being single.. If God has it in His plan for me to be single.. so be it. I can be happy with that because all means all.  He's got my back - he can see the city when all I can see is the traffic.

I want to be a prayer warrior:

To be poetic in my words
To say what I need and to give thanks
To drop down to my knees in any moment
Not to be afraid what others might think
To comfort others when they are wounded.

How do I get there?
