Day 13 in the Wilderness

 


Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you; I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, plans formed of old, faithful and sure.

Faithfulremaining loyal and steadfast

I prayed before vacation that God would take hold of me and make me a vessel for Him. Not that I'm not already a vessel but a vessel in a different state, different day to day, different circumstances....you get the point....different! 

We went down to the pool this afternoon and struck up a conversation with Kathleen from Rhode Island. She is here in Florida with her husband Peter and children Tia and Peter. Her brother Nick lives here in Florida. Him and his son came here to join them for some family time. In the course of idle conversation she told us that she's lost her mother, father and sister. A couple of times it seemed she alluded to her faith.  I was listening closely for God to give the opportunity  for me to explore further. Jesus conversation is THE BEST! 

Sure enough as she was talking she said, "Sweet Jesus!!" Yes!! The opportunity for me to say, "Praise God!" and it was ON!! Jesus, front and center! We talked about getting through hard times and what that must look like without Jesus. How do people do it?? We talked about his faithfulness.....We talked about our upbringing  and how it formed us. We talked about how idle chatter can just last for so long and when God is in the midst he is revealed and the conversation never returns to the earthly......it just doesn't.  But its THE best conversation you can have. 

  • JESUS
  • FAMILY
  • SUNSHINE
  •  OPPORTUNITY 

 

"Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

Matthew 7:7


I am so very grateful for an intentional God. I'm so very thankful for the blessing of Jesus talk. I'm forever amazed that I pray, He answers, I obey, He blesses. It's a relationship like no other.  Day 13 is drawing to a close and my heart is so full. 🙌
