This Saturday evening at my church, the speaker was talking about walls in our lives, meaning the ones we need to build up, and others we need to tear down. We were challenged to pray with someone that we didn't know very well in the service. I told myself that I was just going to be honest with this person about what I needed prayer for. I was. About something I've been struggling with recently. Its kind of scary being honest with yourself, and others. But, I took that risk. I think something happens when you are honest...you are freed. Freed from that 'something' you've been holding onto. Its not like those "Aha!" moments Oprah talks about, but its a kind of quite release, where you allow yourself to be held in the arms of the Creator.
I used to feel guilty about being prayed for. Like I didn't deserve it somehow. I think that God uses other people to speak words of life to us. He wants to bless us through others.
Today, I walked into work and felt free. Free from the something I had been holding onto.

Hi,
This is a wonderful blog! It was a very good read.
I was wondering if you would be interested in guest blogging on my blog. It is a collection of my travels and the travels of my guests. If you scan the site you can see that now almost 100% of the posts are from guests. Lately I’ve been finding many people interested in guest posting.
Included in your post will be a link to your website using whatever anchor text or key words you wish and a description of your site (if you choose to include one.)
My blog (onetravel.wordpress.com) receives about 2000 visitors a day and that number is steadily growing.
So if you are interested in being a guest, please let me know.
