Remember it is not about you! No.. It is about him, Jesus. We do what he teaches us .. to love others.

The most recent thing happened.. I went into a office building yesterday and there was this new girl.. just found going through a divorce and such many issues.. but she loves God.. we got to chit chatting.. we walked over to another building to get our lunch. We came back to the break room and sat and had lunch with 3 other women.. God worked the conversation in his favor.. the new gal shared about how this past week-end she did not have any groceries for her 2 kids or money.. on sat evening a neighbor showed up to check on to see why her phone did not work.. it was shut off.. he asked if everything ok.. she said yes.. he looked in her refrigerator.. saw it empty and left $ 50.00 on table..
next morning another friend shows up who normally comes in the back door but came through the front door. carrying 2 big bags of groceries and left a $ 20.00 bill..

She told how she had just prayed to God that she did not know how she was going to make it and said Lord.. I know you will meet this need.. then bam! I shared a few of my God stories.

Today! 2 of the women were sitting in this other building with this gal.. in tears! Come to find out by the new gal being there and being on phone with police in regards to a family situation.. the same thing had happened to this woman and she never shared with anyone up until today!
The other gal calls me and says Robin.. after yesterday's conversation I am letting all this go in regards to my car.. you see.. she was to put money down on a car today.. and she did not have enough, but low and behold another woman gave her a name and number of another person selling a vehichle which may be better for her.. bam... there was God!

You see I myself have been struggling, but praying Lord keep showing me.. keep showing me.. you see no matter how bad you are feeling, you have got to keep getting his word out there.. even if it is just a conversation over lunch.. walking down the hall..

It truly does make a difference! No matter how small.. it makes a difference!

I'm still trying to count how many stories here about our wonderful God and Father!!! Whoo-hoo! I LOVE to hear about what I call "straight out FAITH!" i.e., in your hour of desperate need, throwing yourself solely on God's love and mercy TRUSTING Him TOTALLY - then able to thank and praise Him as He answers!!! (Robin, this took me back to 1971 when my family of 4 ran out of money because of my first health collapse, and even a stranger I'd never heard of sent money from a quite a way away. Others came with food, and so on. God is GOOD! And He CAN be trusted!!)

THANKYOU FOR SHARING!
