God@email.com

Reading Kelly's post awhile back while in the midst of a struggle (which seems to be status quo for me lately) I got the idea of EMAILING God my prayers. I thought about it for awhile....and it dawned on me...when I'm really excited about something or when I'm really upset or stressing about something, I am prompted to write it down to share with someone else. Most of the times the people I share those thoughts with won't rejoice as strongly as I do or hurt as deeply as I do...but they love and support me anyway. I find it very easy to communicate via writing and email. So why not communicate with God in the same way? Not that he's sitting up in heaven with his Mac waiting for new email, but because it's a way that I find easiest to sit and pray and turn my thoughts over. So I've tried it...and I love it. I created a fake address for God and I started sending emails. When I'm tempted to rant or rave or when I feel like no one would really get how exciting something is, I tell God. There've been times where I find myself checking my email later to see if he replied. He usually hasn't...but I still feel his peace anyway. And it helps allow me to go to God first before turning my dependency and support towards man....that he be my first line of defense and love. If you haven't tried it...I recommend it.
