Today at work I answered the phone
to hear a mama asking for recommendations for a Christian counselor who works with children. I efficiently listed off the ones we recommend and she was grateful. Then I commented about the one who had helped me during one of my most difficult seasons. Suddenly, there was a “you, too?” connection and she started crying.
I shared that this counselor helped to change the course of my life, and my children’s lives.
I told her there isn’t anything she’s going through that God doesn’t have provision for.
I prayed with her, for her family, and for their future. We cried together and she thanked me over and over.
I wasn’t speaking from a place of “maybe this will work” or “perhaps God will show up for you”.
I spoke from a place of having experienced a journey from death to life.
From deepest loss to finding hope again.
From a journey filled with wounding to now being on a path of healing.
How full of grace is our God!
There’s no other description: today was simply a miracle.

Sometimes a wrong decision is just that: a wrong decision.
Sometimes a right decision appears wrong because the timing is off.
When a right decision is made, at the right time- it can be like a gentle rain on dry earth. Refreshing, needed, welcomed.
God, give us wisdom and grace and patience to be in tune with Your timing.
In step with Your will.
In sync with Your voice.
For the glory of Your name, and the honor of Your Kingdom.
