I got a call late last night. She said, "I hope it's not too late, but I always call you when I have trouble, and I just knew I needed to call you tonight." I met this person in the parking lot one afternoon. She gradually moved into my life through her problems and the fact that I "allowed" her to be angry with God over some things. (Like we need permission to have emotions or can stop them!) She came into the office one day recently to talk about all her problems, but there was a change. She knew she had problems because of her own actions, and because she wanted to get herself right with God. We've had some deep conversations lately, not just talk about her problems.
One of those problems was financial. We worked out a plan.
She's reset priorities in her life, and worrying more about her family than her own problems...in a healthy kind of way. The call last night was to share how God had worked things out in her life so that the threat of losing her heat was gone...for the sum of $3 and some odd change. She said that she knew God put me in her life and that scared her. Any time she got close and trusted people, God took them away from her. But she knew He'd put me in her life and she was thankful. I think in the next day or two it'll sink in that it was her putting God back in her life that has helped her!
The sermon Sunday was about finding God and how He wants to be found. What a wonderful example this week!
