Lifting You Up With A Hand Cramp

I met up with a friend for coffee.  She is going through something that I can't relate to, can't even fathom.  I feel as though my words are useless.  Which they are but at least they are words of love.  I prayer for her figuring out what I can do and God made it apparent that all I could do is lift her up in prayer and remind her that I'm here.

So as I'm rocking Rylee to sleep, I decided I should make something... something to let her know she's being lifted up to the One who can really make a difference.  I quickly but slowly and carefully lay Rylee down, tip toe out of the room, sprint to my computer b/c thoughts and ideas are already scrambling through my head, and start to draw them out.  After I figure out my cool design, I turn to my computer all ready to make this masterpiece and my mouse doesn't work!  

What!!

So I tip toe past Rylee's room again and run downstairs to change out the batteries.  Still doesn't work.

What!!

I fiddle pretending I'm part of the Geek Squad.  Realize I got nothing. And give up.

Then I realize it really doesn't matter what it looks like.  It matter's what it says.  What it means.

I throw the mouse aside.  Set my middle and pointer finger on the touch pad and go to town like I'm Van Gough in the tech era and masterfully draw out with a hand cramp a stick figure.

So here you go friend.  Know that you are being lifted up every moment of the day in prayer.  

Maybe now with just a hand cramp.

Means the same, right?  :)
