God Met Me WHERE?!

I got up at 4am, left the house at 4:30am, & drove 4 1/2 hours to meet with some of our fellowship's state & national leaders.

I expected that I would learn some great practical lessons & glean some invaluable wisdom from these great men of God.

What I didn't expect was for God to meet me there!

I have been wrestling for a while now with several issues... Each of which are significant to me, but the sum total of their weight is overwhelming! I have been seeking God's wisdom & direction for quite some time.

Even on the drive that morning, I was wrestling with these giants and wondering (still) what the heck to do. They turned over & over in my mind in the same, sick sequence with my stomach turning over & over with them.

As I rolled up to the meeting place, I pushed my thoughts aside & gathered my things. I walked into the meeting room & found a seat, ready to hear what our speaker had to say.

As he began to speak, my heart leaped & my jaw dropped... I couldn't believe what I was hearing!! He was addressing every one of the issues I've been wrestling with, topic by topic. He couldn't have been more accurate if I'd handed him a list!! One by one, God used him to turn questions into answers & uncertainty into clear direction.

The overwhelming nausea I'd been feeling for so long gave way to overwhelming joy... The kind of joy that just makes you want to cry. I stayed that way for the rest of the day, thanking God for His goodness to me.

I returned home that evening different than when I left, amazed at my God who knows where to find me, where to meet me, and how to change me forever. He is SO AWESOME!!
