How could I have been so blindThis past week have been very frustrating. I was supposed to have internet in my apartment last Friday. For reasons unknown, that didn't happen, the activation date for no reason at all changed to Tuesday at 8pm. That didn't happen either. Something was wrong in the connection, bad enough they had to send someone out. Someone that couldn't come until today. Besides the obvious unfortunate sides of not having internet (email and such) I was also upset by the fact I couldn't blog. Because my ipod is way cool and remembers things, I could see what the song was for the day, couldn't necessarily listen to it. but I could read the lyrics. But if I didn't have time in that 9-9 time frame to make it by the library, then I couldn't blog about my prayer experience.
When you were always here
So near to me
You, you're in my soul
Wherever I go
It really angered me Tuesday night. I couldn't listen to that song, but I could read the lyrics, and the lyrics really spoke to me. I couldn't wait for XLT to end so I could go straight home and finally get internet and blog my prayer. Imagine my disappointment when I got home and there was no internet. On top of that, I still didn't have a washer and dryer, I was starting to run out of clothes to wear. I remember texting Chris about how angry I was that I couldn't blog on one of my favorite song days. His reply kinda surprised me and it really shouldn't have. "If you pray about it, you will find that you don't need the internet to pray. All hope is not lost!"
How stupid was I, duh Katie, you don't need the internet to pray! You don't need to broadcast your prayer to everyone for God to hear it! God is always there right with you - with or without internet. As glad as I am to finally have internet, I'm kinda glad that I had that break from it so I could come to the realization that as amazing as this blog is, I don't need it to pray.
