To Post or Not to Post. The Facebook Dilemma #facebook #crohns #prayers

I hit a rough patch yesterday. Crohn's disease raised its ugly head in my mouth for heaven's sake and my brother whom I have blogged about extensively had another stroke.

I sure needed some prayers mostly for him but I needed a few for myself. Many of my friends post when they need prayers, but I've never done so. While I always pray for those whose ask for them, there is a part of me that doesn't ask because it is kinda personal.
Maybe I was a little embarrassed too.

On the other hand I was really in need of prayers. I could have just said I was in need of prayer and let it go at that, but I feel like prayer needs to be specific. So, I pulled up my big girl panties and asked for some.

The response humbled me.

No one criticized me and many people prayed. An old friend wrote a prayer that made me cry.

​Sometimes life gets rocky. Sometimes the people you love most in life get sick and sometimes they pass on. Sometimes you need prayers for them and sometimes you need them for yourself. I will no longer be ashamed to ask for prayer and I certainly won't be afraid to ask for them.

​Many thanks to all of you who prayed. It means so much.
