This past Sunday, I was blessed to share at a little Presbyterian church in Madison AL. Now, I've visited quite a few churches, many of them small. But this was the first one that I really felt the expression "welcomed me with open arms!" fits. I don't know, maybe it was because of the missionary thing and you're supposed to be nice to the missionary. Regardless, I left feeling like I was half a member already! Such a blessing to hear them tell me they'd be praying for me and to know that they would be.
Just a couple days after this beautiful experience, I was in need of a God moment again. (Because I have spiritual amnesia, and need God moments...) I'd read in an email from my team leader, Tom, that his son was in Huntsville for spring break, and he wanted us to meet, (he's at school in Virginia, but his grandparents live here in Huntsville, random?). Seriously though, what college student would want to meet some random person that they have no connection too, on their break non-the-less?? Wednesday, (when I'd come to the end of myself again), I get a random text from this guy. So naturally I met up with him and his cousin (whom I had been told by several people I needed to meet, that also lives here in Huntsville). It's all so random... or is it?? It's in little moments like this I know that God does care and is a personal God. "Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows." -Matt 10:29-31
"How lovely is your dwelling place, O LORD of hosts! My soul longs, yes, faints for the courts of the LORD; my heart and flesh sing for joy to the living God." Psalm 84:1-2
