Well... God was right! Now the gift didn't receive the immediate, "Wow, this is just what I needed!" that I had anticipated. After most of the guests had left, my friend pulled me into her bedroom and opened up one of her dresser drawers and showed me the collection of stationary that she was amassing.
She said, "I don't know why I keep buying all this stationary, I will just feel like I have to. Some of them are not even cute! Look, this one has pictures of food on it!" She then explained that God was bringing people to her mind and heart and she would write a note of encouragement or prayer and send it to them. It was difficult for me not to start laughing, because I knew that God was giving her confirmation and encouraging her in what He has called her to do through that stationary that I would have NEVER bought on my own!
I got to share with her about the gifts of the Holy Spirit, and how she was operating in the gift of words of knowledge and words of encouragement in an awesome way. Which meant that I was an encouragement to her in her using her gift to encourage others. I love how God operates! He is so AmAzing!
This was also good confirmation and encouragement for me in my walk with the Lord. I love this new ask God what He is doing game. He always answers and so it is like a giant game of hidden pictures. I just have to find the hidden clues!
