Not by Accident

This is kind of neat ... I will preface this post by saying that I have been challenged in my Experiencing God Bible study at the church to be watching to see how the Lord is at work in events and people around me. :) Here are some examples of where I have seen that lately ... I think they have come at just the right time when I needed the encouragement that God is at work ...

In my last post I forgot to mention something really amazing about the young guy the Lord gave me the opportunity to share a bit of the Gospel with on the airplane ... Several days before, when I was preparing for the missions conference, I felt God pretty clearly putting it on my heart to change my presentation!

Well ... the new story I used for the presentation was the one I ended up being able to share with the guy on the airplane to bring out the Gospel message! And the story I had in my "original" presentation totally would not have been applicable to share, nor would it have brought out the Gospel. Praise the Lord!

I feel like He is continually reminding me lately that He orchestrates events ... that, in His scheme of things, there are no accidents. Another neat thing ... on Monday evening, I was a little tired (had just gotten in that day) but still wanted to do some laundry. Looking in my laundry room, I was reminded that I needed laundry detergeant. I can't remember the exact time, but it was probably close to 8:30, possibly later, when I made it to Wal-mart.

While I was on my way out with my laundry detergeant, I ran into Mimsy, this girl who lives in my apartment complex. [How we ended up meeting is an entirely different yet incredible story that I believe the Lord had His hand in. It involves a beautiful gray cat and another cat named Baxter that I have yet to meet. :) IF you would like to know, just ask me. :)] It seemed that she was just running in there real quick (kind of like I was!) and I really believe the Lord arranged us meeting up that night! We had a great chat right there in Wal-mart, and she asked if anything was going on with my church this weekend and is likely coming out with me to my Bible study! :o)

Well, I'm about to head out but just wanted to share these stories. :) Have a great evening, everyone!
