I am almost ashamed that it has been so many weeks since I have added to this thread!

Ok...here's another answered prayer...just this morning. Here's the background to the need for the prayer:

Last week I noticed that my washing machine wouldn't draw water. This is huge to me, with my disability. My housekeeper had done clothes the week before I think... but hadn't had time to do wash last week..so I was trying to eek a few things clean

Nothing to do but pile the dirty clothes up... I asked my PT if he knew of any laundromats down there where he is... but never drove out to find them... I did a google search... and then asked my T if the laundromat near him where I used to go (across from the college) was still there... Yep and I called to find out times. I had planned to go there after Tuesday PT and T sessions...but didn't have the energy to sort the clothes even. So I planned on doing a load before my MD exam Wednesday...but again couldn't... I dragged out to buy new washer and dryer... (My unit is a stacked w/d so if one goes, they both do? ) Sears had a sale...but not really... after taking all my energy to get there, talk with salesman, go through paperwork to buy... Sears had closed my account. Hmmm. Ok, just open a new one (I have a 150+ credit rating.) They denied me. Said they'd send a letter. (I think this is over their non fixing my riding lawn mower a few years ago...? But that was dispute of less than $100.) ANYWAY... no washer still... I couldn't find the energy to sort clothes yet so still hadn't gone to mat.
(BTW I had pulled the knob on the washer to see if maybe the maid had messed the timing up...out of sync... and I'd shut the water off and on at the spigot... and gone through all the cycles on off on off to see if there was ANY function on the washer for drawing water... it would try to drain (but no water in tank, of course) but nothing else...

This morning, in frustration, I was saying that I NEED this washer... GOD SAYS if I ask.. I'll get. And I went face to face with God in prayer... yes it felt like that...stood there, reasoning with Him, and asking in Christ name for the washer to work.

You know what's coming...

Well, I figured maybe if I show good faith, and pour some water into the machine and add clothes... expecting (this is evidence of faith!!!???)

IT WORKED! I had to baby it into spinning...but it has spun on it's own since... draws water, empties, spins...

PRAISE GOD! Now I'm not looking or worrying about the future on this machine, as it IS old... BUT I asked God to make the washer work for me... and HE DID!

TODAY I get laundry done. (Put aside the fact that I'm not supposed to do laundry...and might pay for it later with increased pain... maybe God will diminish that too for me today!)



Remember the Johnny Appleseed song? Oh the Lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need the Sun, the Rain, and the washing machine! The Lord is good to me.
