Our Sovereign Lord

Today I was supposed to meet with other moms and walk in the park. God had other plans...nobody could come. As many of you know my little redhead has been testing his mama lately-so we played at the park anyway. Anything to occupy his young active mind. I met a single mom with a little boy Nate's age. We had a good talk and the boys played well. I learned she is moving out of state in a month. So of course I invited her to some group activities for moms and kids. God kept prompting me to say more, like if she didn't know Him and just walked away, she may never hear the Truth. So I invited her to church as we parted ways...good enough, right? It appeased my conscience at least. So she is walking the few blocks to her house and I drive past. The Lord wanted me to turn the car around and I argued. She is going to think I'm an idiot! I turned around, flagged her down and we exchanged numbers. I would love to say I witnessed to her and she was saved on the spot, but that didn't happen. I will say that she seemed more than happy to see that someone cared that she needed companionship for herself and little boy. Will more come of this? I hope so.

I need my sisters in Christ to pray for this lady, I'll call her 'D.' Please pray for me too, that I will say what God wants me to say and not be afraid of what her reaction may be. I know nothing happens by accident. The Lord planned our meeting today far in advance. And you know what, after I was obedient and turned the car around, I had the peace that passes all understanding. I want to say I'm obedient all the time--but if I was I probably wouldn't think it was post worthy but just a normal part of life. I love you all! Talk to ya later.

You go girl! You are doing a great job with making friends and fitting into your new area. You are blooming where you are planted. I know I argued with God over your transplant but I am so pleased to see how God has blessed your move. Still sad for me though.

I admire the way you are listening to God's voice. It is amazing how hard it is to ignore once we learn what it sounds like. You and D will be in my prayers.
