Go

It turns out I was right where I was supposed to be.

I wanted to stay home from church that day, but I got dressed, fixed my hair and went anyway. Oh, the worshipping and praising God deep within my spirit! And the message spoken just for me! 

I thought I might be a little too unfamiliar to attend that funeral, but my hugs were sweetly welcomed. I was appreciated more than I knew. I walked home with a renewed awareness of the beauty of life and the mark a person’s life can leave on the ones they love.

I wasn’t sure about attending a new Bible study 7 months pregnant and busy with two young sons. I went that night anyway and nearly once a week for years after.

I was busy cleaning that day in August. It was Monday, my day off, and I was preparing for my week.  Go to the park. Go walk at the park. A voice inside me urged.  I said, I have things to do. Why should I go to the park? 

I never know what God has in store but I do know that it is good! He can change my life every single day with a sermon, a hug, a person or a walk in the park. It isn’t for me to know, just to go!

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord.     Romans 12:11
