Every morning, I flip.  It’s my deal with God, if you will, to trust Him to show me exactly where He wants me to be.  It’s been uncanny the past two months how every single flip has been relevant and timely for two friends, in two different states, in two different spiritual status of health.  Only God can stitch together such beauty and allow us to feel His power, love and mercy in each stitch.

This morning, I woke with a clear direction on my heart.  I did not have the need or desire to flip.  Instead, He whispered, “desire of your heart” and encouraged me to learn more, dive deeper and trust.

Last year, my post on FB included an old photo of us together:

 As much as I love my son, God knew my heart’s desire was to have a daughter the second time I was pregnant.
…What pure joy to learn I had just delivered a little girl!
…She defends the defenseless and champions causes with a passion rare for girls her age. When Morgan does cling to me out of pure love, need, compassion, hurt or anything else, the look in her eyes is *this* look in this photo. Immediately, my beautiful teenage daughter is turning four and there is something sacred in the moment

I heard “Samuel and Hannah” and yet started in Psalm 20 and Psalm 37.  They were PERFECT for all three of us this morning.  I was blown away.  Then, I go through 2 Samuel and just know that was the beginning.  Go back FURTHER, Carol.  Okay, Father God, let me go back to 1 Samuel, right at the beginning.  As I am turning back, my page stops at 1 Samuel 18 and I am drawn in by David and Jonathan.

Chills.  I hear Rich Mullins singing “What Susan Said”, think of Dawna Kalanges, Maria Harris and Heidi French.  Lord, please help me find D & M!  Thank you for helping me find Heidi.  I share with Pam, who, by the way, had already texted Luke 21:25 – the exact same verse Blake shared with us in the car last night.  Yes, Lord, I hear you and see you at word…Thank you for being such a Good, Good Father!

I make it back to Hannah, the first two chapters.  I remember the Beth Moore Heart Like His Study at Heidi’s house when I was pregnant with Blake.  I know in that moment that God hid that in my heart so deeply 17 years ago for His purpose today.  I am in awe.  Lord, I wish to pray as faithfully as Hannah, always remember that everything we have is YOURS and to continue to be as generous as you empower us to be.

Pam was in Jeremiah, with the tribe of Benjamin, all about the orphans and defenseless…what a blessed Godversation.  I had so much to get accomplished today but must trust God had me exactly where He desired me to be…with him, with Revelation, with the most beautiful gifts of discernment …on the same day he gave me a daughter to love.
