When God Speaks

God spoke to me today. That in its self is not new. But the manner in which he chose to speak was.
As most of you know I have been church hopping for 2 years now. Some have felt good. Some have felt bad. But none of them home. I found one recently that I thought could do as home but after looking into really getting involved I realized that it was not the place God had in mind for me.
So, yesterday I watched the twins play their last soccer game of the season. The first one of the season that I actually made it to. The twins were great. They ran their cute little tushies off while having amazing fun. While I was there I ran into an old friend. An old ministry friend. And she invited me to her family’s church. Which leads me to today. I have found my home church. From the moment I walked in the door I heard Jesus welcome me home. I sat and soaked it all in. I sang, I laughed, I cried and most importantly I prayed. A good solid prayer of longevity with other women of God. It was everything my soul needed. And then one of those God moments happened. The prayer counselor I was praying with says God told her to ask me to help with their VBS. For those of you that don’t know VBS stands for Vacation Bible School and when God knit my skin together I think he sewed in some extra VBS juice. Because I love VBS. It’s the happiest time of the year for me. Winning children to Christ in a fun and creative life altering matter is who I am, and what VBS is.
So now I am headed to a VBS volunteer meeting. Yeah! Of course I have already been told that the church is also looking for someone to help out with the children’s drama program. Could the day be any more focused on a plan for me life? I think not. But just to make sure I pray. I pray while driving home. I’m having a conversation with God that goes something like:
“Hi God! Thanks for a great day. Thanks for the wonderful people that you put in my life today. Thanks for the opportunities you are giving me. Now, let’s talk. I know that I spontaneously jump into things and even though these 2 opportunities seem like a perfect fit for me. Could you give me a sign that says I should get this involved?”
A giant lightening bolt comes out of the sky and crashes down on the hill in front of me! I burst out laughing. Only God would speak through nature. It was beautiful and yet powerful. Isn’t that the best way to describe God-Beautiful Power!
I pray that all of you are getting to have great God moments in your life.
Love to all-
