God working

Have you seen God working lately?  Was He working on you or through you? Can you look back on a time in your life and realize that God was in fact working?

There have been so many times in my life that I later looked back and realized that God was in fact working either for me or through me.  On Sunday we had an amazing speaker Dr. Samuel Thomas of Hope Givers.  If you have never heard him please google him and find out what all amazing things he does.  Some of the things that stuck with me were all of the children he has brought in and taken care of as well as all of the burnt women he has taken in.  The orphans come to know God through Dr. Thomas and his organization.  The burnt women no longer fear being set on fire, but instead learn that they can spend eternity with God.  How amazing of a man to run this organization.  Oh and he has had 20 attempted assignations on his life.  Really, we worry about the smallest craziest thing and this man has people trying to kill him because he is showing God's love.  I sat there feeling like I am not doing enough for God.  Please keep Dr. Samuel Thomas in your prayers as his government has said that his organization is their target to shut down.

On Wednesday I had an interview and felt God working on me before the interview.  I had some spare time, so I went to a parking lot to work on my Beautiful Mess Bible Study, and then just asked God to lead me to what He wanted me to read and know.  I flipped in my Bible to Ecclesiastes 2 and my eyes went directly to 2:8.  I ended up reading all of the way through Ecclesiastes 2:8.  It spoke directly to my heart and was exactly what I needed to hear/read.  I finished reading, prayed, and headed to my interview.  I walked in without any stress, any anxiety,   and knew that God was right there with me.

That night I went to my Beautiful Mess class, and again felt God wanting me to do more.  As my amazing leader was speaking of her trip to Africa last week she spoke about some women that she met with.  These women were Muslims, but allowed her to share God with them.  There were great examples of how God was also on the trip and showing His love.  As class went on I felt drawn to do something for these women.  I suggested that our class "adopt" that group of women, and send them ideas that they may not ordinarily be able to get.  The women in the class supported the idea, and now we are praying to see how God wants us to show them His love.  Please be in prayer for us to know what to send these women.

How is God working in your life right now?  Are you asking Him to work through you?
