You know there are sometimes when GOD touches you through the weirdest of persons/ways/situations. I’m at work today and just listening to some gospel music, just to calm my spirit and a co-worker says to me just out of the blue “I have something to say to you…do you mind?” And I’m like “sure no problem” and she says (now mind you this is a woman who I think has a few marbles loose..if you know what I mean)

“You know there are those times when you look at the progress of others, the fortunes of others and you wonder where is yours or when is yours going to come and you begin to despair and to doubt.”  She said…”Don’t look at it that way…look at it from the perspective of ..GOD answered their prayer; and if he can do that for them..imagine what he can do for you.”

And I was just awe struck…Now I’m a very private person, friendly but very private…it takes a long time for me to open up to people to be able to confide in them so you can be damn sure that I have done no such thing with this co-worker. It was just absolutely amazing to me how she could…just literally out of the blue just hone in on some of the discontent I had been feeling brewing within myself for the last little while. Never voiced, but yet still there somewhere at the corner of my mind.
I pondered for awhile after thanking her for sharing…then I felt compelled to ask her why she felt it necessary to share that bit of information now..or what prompted that remark (bearing in mind that we are nowhere close to being bosom buddies).

She replied, “seemed like the right mood, right time, felt to share.” Then “Remember though..Be careful what you ask for you just might get it.”

Now by this time I’m totally incredulous but calm because I recognize the hand of GOD reaching out to me through her….

Then she said to me…hold on I have something else to share and produced this quote written on a white piece of paper;

“Then shall the maidens rejoice in the dance, and the young men and the old shall be merry. I will turn their morning into joy, I will comfort them and give them gladness for sorrow.”

Jeremiah 31:13

Her last words to me before returning to her office (yes she’s not even in my office space) were…

“The hardest thing to develop is faith…the faith that knows that good things are coming; are in fact in store for you. When a door closes…another one opens and usually a better one..but all in good time.”

Now I don’t know if there are any non-believers out there…but there is no one other than the Master who created me and knows me that could have discerned my need to hear those words on the exact day that I needed to hear them…thought I should share…I felt as if a weight I wasn’t aware I was carrying had been lifted off my shoulders…hope my sharing does the same for someone else.
