Doing God's Work

A few days ago I experienced the most amazing things! God placed me in two situations within an hour where I was able to help total strangers. There are no words I can use to describe to incredible feelings I had in my heart. It wasn't for what I had done, it was for what I had witnessed and experienced.

I've helped strangers in the past. Even though I was sure God had a hand in it, I always chalked it up to "being in the right place at the right time". This was different. I didn't physically hear Him say "do this" but it was just as clear. I knew exactly what I was supposed to do, and there was no hesitation and no doubt in my mind.

I'm not looking for praise or anyone to comment on what I did, so I'm not going to say exactly what happened. That's not the point of this. The point is- small miracles took place, and I feel SO incredibly blessed to be a part of it... and not just ANY part of it, God chose me to make it happen. To be able to carry out a plan in His name, an act of love in the name of God our Father is an AMAZING feeling!

Afterward I felt like I was floating! I came home and told Jason (my husband) what had happened, and at that point I couldn't contain my joy. I was so overcome with emotion and the tears overflowed. Days later I am still incredibly overwhelmed and wondering how those people are today.

Two days after the first experience, God called on me again. This time one of my nine-year-olds was with me and she simply said, "we have to help them". And so we did.

"I will praise You in this storm." 
It wasn't my storm this time, but often it has been. I am still learning to praise God in my storms. I am thankful for the opportunity to be available for others during their storms. 

I hope God will call on me again; small ways, big ways, any way He chooses. I hope He calls, and I hope I am listening so I never miss an opportunity to assist in His work.
