Day 56

I was in debate this morning as to what to do with my day today.  I have been going to the gym 5 days a week with my friends... which I love, but I knew that it would be difficult today because I had scheduled some clients in the middle of the afternoon.  So I asked God this morning what I should do... I heard skip the gym and go to lunch! HAHAHAHA

Funny thing, or not so funny thing, I didn't think it was Him.  So I tried to do it my way.  When I finished with my clients early I left work and headed to the gym.  On the way there I am chatting in my head with God and He says to me, "It doesn't do any good to ask Me to be the light unto your path and the lamp unto your feet if you won't follow the light."  OUCH!!!  Still, I am thinking, 'Oh that can't be God!'  Just as I got there my friends had finished working out.  So I figured, ok, fine, lunch it is.  Where should I go? 

I went to a restaurant near my office.  It was a divine appointment.  Actually two.  Maybe three.

A girl that used to be a client at my salon is a waitress there.  It was a wonderful opportunity just to love on her and plant more seed for the kingdom in her heart!

A girl that goes to my church that needs healing in her back was also there.  We talked for a minute and she left.  Both of us didn't even think of praying... I was OBVIOUSLY not very in tune with God and His Holy Spirit today. Kind of a Bummer! I guess I was just too busy being busy.  If I want to be about my Father's business I need to stay close to Him and listen to Him when He speaks.  Jesus said, I only do what I see my Father doing.  There are even a couple songs written about that ( the one by Jesus Culture is my favorite!)

I also ran into one of my professor's there.  I said hello as I was leaving.  He is someone who has probably been hurt by the church or people in it at some point.  He is a confessed atheist.  It would have been cool if he would have seen Jesus heal my friend in that restaurant but he did overhear my conversation with my waitress. More seeds being planted in his life too.

Thank You Father for allowing me to be Your hands and feet and mouthpiece.  Help me to listen to You better.  Give me ears to hear in the Name of Your Son Jesus!
