unexpected appointments

I just love it when God blesses me with an unexpected appointment. Especially if it is with a friend.

Yesterday was just such a day. I had to make an unexpected trip to Tampa. It was a trip over, stay 20 minutes to deliver something and then back. When I found out I would need to make this trip. That very morning... I was sitting at a table full of women from my church at our monthly Ladies Prayer Breakfast. I leaned over to the one on my left and wrote a quick note asking her if I needed to make the trip over would she be able to go with me to keep me company and more importantly keep me accountable as this would be my first road trip without my faithful companion of cigarettes. And well, quite frankly, I had been having a very challenging day the day before. I had not given into temptation. However, I felt this might be my undoing. so.... Thankfully she did not hesitate she immediately said yes,

Well God has a way of helping us sort things out in our minds by being able to share with a friend and provides just the right friend at the right time when we need to get completely honest and just spill our guts. Well... that is what happened on the ride over. I was able to share with this precious friend not only the events that have been happening in my life but also my fears and my discoveries and my challenges. It was an amazing hour and a half that flew by as she listened and questioned me and caused me to dig deep into my heart to find some of the answers. I just love it when my heavenly Father knows just what we need even when we don't.

So what are the things making you restless, and frustrated and unsure of your next steps in your journey of faith? cry out to God and ask Him to show you the best person and the best time to share these things with that person. And do not be surprised when He provides it in the most unusual person, place and time!
