No sooner did the woman behind me introduce herself than she insisted I wear her gloves because she had pockets and I, sadly, did not.
Suddenly we talking about each other's lives and before I could get a grasp on what was happening, her husband was getting my phone number to give me directions to their small group tonight....which I readily attended, carpooling with two girls I had known since freshman year!
Incredible. I had spent 2009 praying for the Lord's guidance and direction in finding a church home here in Tallahassee. It was a scary journey...not that Four Oaks (the church I am going to) was in any way intimidating, but rather, the trust and uncertainty this decision involved....especially as I began to soak in the implications of joining and serving such a large body of believers....
Yesterday in particular, I yearned desperately for a clear sign from God that I walking down the right path, after being attacked with doubts the night before.
Today, I received that sign. It seemed so random, so out-of-blue....for me to join the line so late in the game, and by myself...all the factors that had to take place....it was more than luck.
Tonight, I enjoyed the fellowship of Christians I had just met today (and a couple I already knew) , and in the home of the woman who lent me her gloves....God has impeccable timing, does He not?
As always. So beautifully composed. :) He DOES have incredible timing. So glad to know you've found your nitch at Four Oaks.
