Shaken

My mother-in-law is dead. Another friend has died and his wife is trying to cope and pick up the pieces of her life. Another young man lays broken in the hospital in an induced coma after being hit by a drunk driver. A five year old boy in the hospital struggles to breathe as the doctors and nurses fight in the physical realm for his life and a group of prayer warriors contend for him in the spiritual realm. We contend as well for the life and body of our friend hit by the drunk driver.

This has been a week of shaking. Not just for me, but for a lot of people. The shaking has been a physical and emotional one, but I, personally, also feel a spiritual shaking. I can't quite put a finger on what has been spiritually shaken loose, but something was present within me that I could feel physically. I knew that whatever it was, it stood as a barrier between me and God. God has shaken it loose and it is no longer there and I am no longer the same person I was last week or even a few days ago.

God is up to something.
