Pray the cars away

We've been back in the US for 8 days or so...and it has been a fun week!! We returned from Paris engaged (awesome), and dealing with lots O symptoms (expected). This time around the double vision locked on right away, followed with the regular swallowing problems, then breathing and muscle weakness issues. I've had 5 treatments in the past 8 days, and am almost back to normal. Just walking slow.

This past week, while driving with the double vision (yes, should be a no-no), I realized how powerful prayers are. Not only your prayers, but mine too! The good Lord knows that I'm hard headed, and wont sit still for a week in my apartment, waiting on the double vision to blow over. Nor will I allow others to be taxed with shuttling me around all the time. For the record, Lee does drive me most of the time, when I'm dealing with the vision. ANYWAY! ...when I do get behind the wheel, with tape on my glasses (this helps me focus on using one eye), I say a quick prayer, "Lord, please protect me and all the cars around me. Amen" When my head and heart are lined up and being sincere with this prayer, I tell ya what, the cars are all gone. I can pray the cars away! hehehe

When its time to merge into traffic with one eye closed, the cars are held up at the red light, up the hill. When I need to get off the hwy and merge onto a service street, the cars have opened up nicely. Pray the cars away! Its kinda fun. Can't imagine what Moses felt like, praying the water away.

Anyway, that's been in my head this past week. Praying the cars away, and how powerful prayer really can be. We'll see what goofy saying I have for next week's enjoyment.
