Normally I have a story to tell based one something that has caught my attention. I didn't have an incident today. Perhaps that is my delay in posting. As I sit at my computer and consider what I will write, God brings it right to me.
I had lunch with a pretty special lady today. One that has been a guide, mentor and true friend. I met her years ago at my church and I have always thought she was pretty special. As I cherish the time I enjoyed with her, I contemplate God's goodness. Thirteen years ago, God knew the friend I would need to walk my journey and He sent her to me.
My friend and I spoke about dreams. What dreams we might have, what direction we would like to go in life, and how we would go about it. I told her before I had a dream...I had to live a nightmare. Today, God has been so good to help me make that dream become a reality.
You ever hear people say things like "God opened doors" or "God provided" or "God made it happen?" Well, it's true. All of the above are true. Recently I was asked to lead a Bible Study class for ladies. This is not new-I have been doing this for a while and I do it because I love The Lord and I love doing it.
The challenge in this one? I have to teach it in Spanish! Yay! I'm excited. God is good and I know that whatever deficiency I may have in teaching in my native language God will handle... God's Goodness and He gets the Glory.
We recently finalized plans on a place to fulfill our dream and vision and we have been spared some costly additions that would have slowed us down and taken up alot of our time...God's Goodness and He gets the Glory.
It has been an awesome day with an awesome friend and I can tell you God is good and God is faithful. While there may be storms, there may be detours and there may be naysayers I say "stay the course." Nothing can stand in the way of God's will for you.
I am overwhelmed with God's goodness and grace and I know that it is not because of anything I have done but it is all because of who He is. To God be the glory!
But when the kindness and love of God our Savior appeared, he saved us, not because of righteous things we had done, but because of his mercy. Titus 3:4-5
