Well, as many of you know, we are preparing to leave for Italy on Tuesday and I have heard from many friends that I need to “blog” while there. If I can have some time at a computer, I will be most happy to do so. I have enjoyed writing so very much. I am reading a book by John Eldridge, as I have written about before called, “Walking With God”. John is writing that we need to learn to listen to God during our day and not just set Him on a shelf after spending time with Him in the morning. but asking the Lord what does He have on His agenda for me each day. Well, I am really trying to do that. It has been amazing to see His hand at work and since I am learning to look for the ways that He speaks that sometimes, before I have passed off as just “oh, wasn’t it nice to hear from so and so today.” When in actuality, God brought them to mind or crossed my path so I could be praying for them or to encourage them or to help in some way. That is exactly what happend this morning. I was driving down Parker Rd when I saw a car that reminded me of a special lady who stayed with us a couple of years ago for the summer. I really began to think of her and think of how precious she was and how we were so blessed to have her in our home. Then a couple of hours later, I receive an email from her. It has been several months since hearing from her. And wouldn’t you know it, God had laid me on her heart to contact about something she was needing. Now I know many of you might be thinking, hum, “that was just a coincidence” but as we come closer to God and learn to hear Him and to invite Him into our daily walk, we haveHis Spirit that tells us “with God, there are no coinsidences”. Everything is purposed and planned and “He will teach us of His ways and we will walk in his paths.” Isaiah 2:3
Now, go out and be a blessing to someone today! Love to all of you and thank you for checking out my blog! Let me hear from you sometime!
