Still Running

I'm still on the run, in this "race of life".     Yet, I am thankful that I can still see the Hand of God at work.     In the midst of the crazy busy-ness, I feel like God has still been able to use me to touch the lives of others.

 I was able to give my friend a gift card to a place she and her kids really like, and I didn't even know it   (but God knew :-) )

At the Journeys of Paul reunion, I was able to give the Jouneys of Paul - Book of Acts DVD to a couple, who said they will be using it to show to their church youth group, small group, and friends.    Another two couples also asked for copies of the slideshow.

My friend has moved into the condo.  She seems to love it; and I am at peace that this is part of God's Plan.  It will really be nice to have such a good friend so close by.

God gave me the words to say in a chat today.    It shows me that I have grown from my past experiences, being willing to speak up when there is something useful to say and being direct with those I care about even when what I have to say may not be the easiest to hear.   And the effective and clear way I was able to express my objective viewpoint really had to have come from God, for the solid truth and wisdom it contained really couldn't just come from me alone.   It is yet another one of those times in which I was able to utilize what I had learned thru the years from books and from speakers, even though I don't have any personal experience in the circumstance.

In this busy mode, there is actually some satisfaction in knowing that I am being very productive; utilizing my time as effectively as possible.   But, there is even more satisfaction in seeing God use me.
