As I mentioned, I’m away this weekend at the Discover the Joy Conference in Williamsburg. I will admit that I didn’t want to be here. I didn’t want to go and up until Monday night, I wasn’t.
But here I am.
I knew when I left Thursday night that there was a reason I was going. I also knew that it may or may not be revealed to me. As much as I state that I am okay with that? I’m really not. I like to know why things happen. It’s kinda like when my mother would tell me no. I didn’t mind that she told me no, if she gave me a reason to go with it. No just wasn’t acceptable.
But yet, I do it to my kids too. I guess it’s just the way it works like that.
Anywho, the reason was revealed last night.
Yesterday, we went shopping and due to carpooling set ups, I was able to spend time with one of the ladies of my church that I did not know very well. I learned that she was alot like me. And I mean ALOT like me… except she has a husband that stays home with her kids. I don’t have that. But one day? Maybe.
Anywho, last night, the speaker was talking about how we, as women, see other women, and we think they are perfect, unapproachable, but in reality, we aren’t perfect.
When we got back to the room, we were all sitting around talking and I finally fessed up.
“That’s what I thought about you,” I said. She just looked at me and then I recounted the conversations we had during the day and how much I enjoyed getting to know her just a little bit better even though it was way far out of my comfort zone.
And it was awesome.
And that’s just one way that I know that He’s moving and He’s here… right now.. in my life.
And it’s just way too cool.
I’m so glad I got out of the way and let God do His thang…
Off to another rally!
Until next time…
