I DIDN'T PLAN TO

WELL, ONCE AGAIN, I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AND WAS THINKING ABOUT WHAT "I" WANTED TO PUT IN MY "NOTE" TODAY....I HAD EVEN STARTED THINKING OF THINGS I WANTED TO SAY....BUT...I GOT TO MY COMPUTER AND QUICKLY HAD MY MIND CHANGED....AGAIN TODAY...

"THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT" SEEMS TO BE WHAT THE LORD HAS PLANS ON ME WRITING A NOTE ABOUT TODAY.  FIRST OFF, I SAW A PICTURE, WHICH I QUICKLY MADE INTO MY PROFILE PICTURE.  ISNT IT AWESOME???  THEN ONCE I STARTED WATCHING VIDEOS, I CAME ACROSS TWO BACK TO BACK. 

I ALWAYS HAVE LOVED THE STORY OF THE WOMAN FIGHTING HER WAY THROUGH THE CROWD WITH THE SINGLE INTENTION ON HER MIND OF SIMPLY "TOUCHING" THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT.  SHE KNEW THAT SHE WOULD BE MADE WHOLE.  IN MY MIND, I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN ABLE TO SEE THE STREET JAM PACKED WITH PEOPLE, ALL WAITING FOR THE CHANCE TO SEE JESUS.  I COULD ALWAYS IMAGINE THE NOISE, THE EXCITEMENT, EVEN THE SMELLS AND COULD EVEN IMAGINE THE HEAT FROM THE SUN AND THE DUST FROM THE ROAD TRAFFIC. 

I CAN ALSO IMAGINE THE DETERMINATION OF THIS WOMAN. 
I CAN RELATE TO HER IN MORE WAYS THAN ONE.

FROM WHAT I GATHER, SHE TRIED EVERY OPTION AVAILABLE IN ORDER TO RECEIVE HER HEALING.
AND NOTHING WORKED.
BUT SHE KNEW WHAT SHE HAD TO DO.  
ITS HARD TO EVEN FIND WORDS TO DESCRIBE WHAT HER FAITH MUST HAVE BEEN LIKE. 
BUT, SHE RECEIVED HER HEALING!!!!!!!
JUST BY TOUCHING THE HEM OF HIS GARMENT!

AND WE ARE JUST AS BLESSED TODAY.  

I TRIED EVERYTHING THAT THE WORLD HAD TO OFFER.  I TRIED TO FILL UP THAT EMPTY SPACE INSIDE OF ME.  I SEARCHED, I RAN, I HUNTED HIGH AND LOW. 

BUT, THE ANSWER WAS ALWAYS NEAR.  

IT WASNT UNTIL I APPLIED SOME OF THAT 2,000 YEAR OLD WISDOM TO MY LIFE THAT I FINALLY BEGAN TO FIGURE IT OUT.  WE CAN STILL TOUCH HIS GARMENT TODAY.  WE CAN TOUCH IT EVERYDAY.  HE IS ALWAYS AVAILABLE AND WILL NEVER GET TIRED OF OUR TOUCH.  WE NEED JESUS.  WE ALL NEED HIS HEALING IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER.  WE NEED HIM TODAY MORE THAN EVER. 
PLEASE WATCH THE TWO VIDEOS I POSTED THIS MORNING.  I PROMISE THAT EVERY SINGLE PERSON WHO WATCHES THE VIDEOS WILL BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY WITH THEM IN ONE WAY OR ANOTHER!
