An angel in front of each of my doors

I once heard a story, a true story. I’m not sure I remember the details right but it is an amazing story about God’s power and love for us. A Christian Chinese woman was living in her small house up in the mountains I think. The fact that she was a Christian was not well looked upon, so the men in her town decided to go up to her house one night and kill her. (As I recall). She was scared and begged God to protect her. The fallowing day, when nothing had happened, she went down town. In the town many people asked her who she had guarding her house. She was a poor woman, so she wouldn’t be able to afford any guards. The woman had no idea what the people in her town were talking about. It turned out that what the men had seen, was the woman’s house surrounded by angels with swords. They were all glowing and the men returned to their homes in fear. This woman had no idea how God was going to protect her. It is funny how God sometimes have a solution that we could never come up with ourselves.

I can be quite paranoid sometimes and whenever my boyfriend is at work, so I have to sleep alone, I am very scared that someone will break into our apartment. This story inspired me, so I asked God if he would put an angel in front of each of my doors to protect me during the night. Tonight I had the first night alone without nightmares and without laying awake for hours before being able to fall asleep. Of course you can question whether or not God really put angels in front of my doors. I can’t tell whether or not he did, though I am absolutely sure that he is able to. But what I do know is that he gave me the peace of mind that I needed to have a good night sleep.

I love the idea of God sending a worrier angel to protect me and I really want a tattoo of a warrior angel. I found this picture of an angel (not the girl underneath it – uuh which by the way is Jeanne d’arc). I wanted this tattoo beneath my right breast but the tattoo artist said that it would have to be really big if I wanted all the details. Such a shame, so I am now looking for a perhaps simpler drawing or picture. If you have one laying around or know where I might be able to find one, please leave a comment :) Thanks

God’s serenity in a juicy honeydew melon

God can really be so funny sometimes. I lay talking with him a bit today and I was tired but couldn’t fall asleep, so I prayed and asked God to let me feel his presence and make me calm so I could doze off. This is where the humorousness comes in; he “appeared” as a juicy slice of sweet honeydew melon and by every bite I took, I could feel his serenity and presence just fill me up. It was amazing and I felt so serene but still couldn’t help laughing a bit. Thanks God, for inventing humor.

The joy of praying for friends

I have never kept it a secret that I’m a Christian and found myself drunk saying “Jesus loves you Rasmus” last Saturday. Well, I will start praying for my friends more often, not that I don’t already but I will also let them know that I’m doing it. Maybe they’ll feel something and believe that it is because I’ve prayed for them… I talked with a friend from school about the exams. I had my final exam yesterday and he had his today. He said that he would have his fingers crossed for me which is very nice and I told him I would pray for him. That’s sort of what I can contribute with. Well I just received a message from him that said that he just got an A+ at the exam :) Of cause it’s not just because I prayed for him. God doesn’t just throw A+s to everyone who asks for it but I believe and hope that God has given him the concentration and calmness necessary to succeed perfectly at this exam. He thanked me for praying for him and that warmed my heart. I hope praying for my friends will someday make a difference in someone’s heart.

I would love to pray for you too, so if anyone even actually reads this blog and needs me to pray for them, feel free to write me a comment. You don’t even need to believe in anything or have a certain subject, so feel free to ask :)
