Due...

I'm due for a long, lenthy post. I honestly don't have that in me tonight. I can tell you that God has met me in so many different ways recently. One of them, I'll share. I was having an "issue" of epic proportions. I had finally chosen to escalate it as I knew there was no truth to what was being said. I was talking to my dear, wonderful, godly friend and she says "so, have you spent 5 minutes with Jesus?" Uhm, well, no, I hadn't...I...uh...usually do my reading at night. ;) Good call, friend (and that's of course one of the many reasons I love her). So, I spent that 5 minutes with Jesus. Opened my Bible and for lack of knowing where to go, I went to the Proverbs chapter cooresponding to the day. I'll be darned, found 2 verses that totally fit the situation. I finished reading and prayed. No surprise, the phone rang within a few minutes. It was the escalation. I calmly walked into the other room, without my list of wrongs and explained the situation. Didn't have to spill it all either. It's now handled and handled well.

I got to go hear Gracia Burnham speak this last weekend. Wow, amazing woman. I remember vividly when she and her husband were kidnapped and remember praying for them. She made an interesting point at the very end. I'm going to paraphrase here as I don't remember her exact words...but she was talking about the best things having already happened and just keeping on. God showed her how there was so much more to come. I think there are times I've thought that perhaps I just missed out...that instead of becoming a midwife and delivering bbies in 3 world countries (like some of the wonderful women I met at VCF), I was wasting my time. I don't think God thinks like that. I think that He knows the potential he's put in me and He's willing to mold me and make me. I think I like that. I'll go along for that ride and let Him just do...
