Story #2

After prayer Saturday a week ago, I was typing and writing a ton. Some of it was for research on Jehovah's Witnesses and some was for the church. Well, My right wrist/arm began to ach. In fact I had to stop typing regularly because it hurt so badly, I have taken up the habit of searching and pecking like my dad does. Well this Saturday after prayer I arrived home just in time to catch the Jehovah's Witness before she left. She and I talked for a good long time and then before she left I felt the Holy Spirit prompt me to ask her if her right wrist was okay.

I asked thinking, "Okay this is either me pulling at straws or the Lord". Well, she looks at me sort of funny and starts telling me a story about her arm and how she was cooking and her right arm bumped a pot and scalding liquid splattered her arm. She showed me the arm and it had been badly burned. Of course she wouldn't let me pray for it, but I offered just the same. (It's rather insulting, but the Lord has given me wisdom and helped me hold my tongue on more than one occasion).

Anyhow, I ask her,"When did you do this to yourself? Was it after you came and saw me on Saturday?"

She stammered a little because she was trying to read me. I believe she thought that I thought I had done that to her, which I don't. She said, "Now, this had nothing to do with you! You did not do this to me."

I said, "I know, I'm just wondering when it happened, I would never hope something like that on you and I didn't remember seeing it last Saturday."

She then confirmed my suspicion that it happened on Saturday after she had seen me. It's interesting to say the least, but I don't know what to do with it. Pray for me to have wisdom and discernment and pray for my hand as it continues to hurt.

Yesterday, Monday, I was spending some time in the morning just getting ready for the day and was listening to some teachings on blueletterbible.org about how to reach Jehovah's Witnesses(JWs). Well, I just finished listening to one and my wrist began to ach, after having talked to my JW friend and learning about her burn on her wrist I've begun praying for her when my wrist hurts really badly. So my wrist began to hurt and I started praying for her and asking the Lord for wisdom. Well, I step out on my porch and look over and who do I see. My JW friend! She was making rounds to other people's houses with her sister-in-law. We had a rather quick conversation about life and how we would have to meet up in a couple of weeks because we are both so busy, nothing significant... just interesting.
