Ahhh... So something happened last night, that has NEVER happened before in my life. I prayed with my mama - holding hands and all, just me and her, talking to the Lord.

She's going through a hard time with her work and has a big, important meeting today. She's been so down and you can tell it is wearing on her - both physically and of course, emotionally. My mom has stated she believes in God and she even says, "I like to pray to God and Jesus, to cover all the bases!". <3 But she doesn't regularly attend church and all that jazz. I don't think that lessens your faith in God; but it helps to be involved in a church, be in a small group, etc.

I came to her last night in her room and asked if I could pray for her. I couldn't see her reaction because she had turned off the lights for bed (it was 8:30pm and yup, that's my mom), but there was a pause and she said, "I would love that". :)

I had thought about it for about 5-10 minutes while I was making my lunch for the next day - about asking to pray with her. I felt like I would've regretted it if I hadn't and I felt a strong enough feeling to ask her about it. Sometimes I feel like people need that extra prayer and comfort for one another. If it's prayer in hard times or good times - we need it. We need to be able to come to one another and lean on one another in prayer. Of course it can be awkward, but it just felt natural to do it last night. And seriously - what bad can come from it (nothing in my book!). My mama thanked me again this morning, hugged me and said, "That was just so nice last night". I wished her luck and told her to let me know how her meeting goes.

I feel too that God sometimes comes to us for us to lead other people to Him. I'm very, very passive, not a leader, more of a follower, etc. So for me to do what I did last night was HUGE thing - even if it was for my mama. It felt amazing to lead like that - just in a short, minute prayer. I hope I get the urge to do that stuff again.
