Yesterday, I watched a young lady, perhaps 9 years old, preaching on Facebook. Key words: Funnel, umbrella, RAIN, Abundance, Tongues, Prayer. It was powerful. In fact, so powerful, I asked my husband to watch it with me. The phone was maybe three feet from us on the bed as we listened. Well, it cut out “right before the powerful part” and went to a video of Nichol Burnett talking about Refinement.  I had to sit with that for a while. It would be impossible to detail the number of times my phone or computer apparently “glitches”, only to lead to something I am meant to understand. 

When I arrived at the shop, I started feeling like I could not breathe fully. My temperature was rapidly increasing; the environment is only 68 degrees. Immediately, I called Pammie Sue in Texas and shared the gist. I could feel my heart rate return to normal and my lungs fully expand as we spoke. Within thirty minutes, the Good Lord had me grabbing my journal from Florence. Why? I was to open to a blank page and write down, to the best of my ability, FORTY GOD MOMENTS in my life, in chronological order.

In My God Room on Youtube, I posted a short clip of our dog appended to the entire 23 minutes of writing down the God Moments. Since I haven’t written about it here, I should clarify that it was put on me to share 40 God stories months ago. Maybe four days ago, it was a compulsion to share the plan to YouTube. Yesterday, “The Boss” wanted an outline, apparently!  As is His way, not a soul entered the shop between 10:21 am, when I began the video, until 10:44. On the video, it is an audible deep sigh and the verbal recognition, “okay, these will be the 40 stories” (Or something close to those words) and BAM, the front door to the shop “dings” as a customer enters. I shared the gist of the “timeline exercise” with Mark, Joyce, Pam and Allan.

This morning, I flipped to Psalm 122:8 “For the sake of my brothers and friends, I will say, “Peace be with you.” Joyce always says “Peace” and I shared the flip with Pammie Sue, as well. Intercessory Prayer warriors, they are! Somehow, I ended up in ECC 5:4 “When you make a vow to God, do NOT delay in fulfilling it.“ No accident, I am certain!   I was nudged to look at “memories” of January 30 on Facebook. I copied the various posts into one – a “snapshot” of where God had my heart this morning…with Him. Just in case the day got away from me, I knew my part of fulfilling my vow today was sharing the snapshot on Facebook. 

Several things stood out to me. One, the many years I post scripture or praise on January 30. Two, the smirky childhood pic is the exact same one I shared with Joyce in November. Three, the notation from 13 years ago about deleting 40 blogs from “the other space”. I was tasked to list 40 God Memories yesterday and reminded of 40 MySpace blogs I deleted many moons ago. Again, NO ACCIDENT! Praise the Lord, I found several of them on an old laptop yesterday, as several are on my Top 40 God Moments list. 

No shocker here. Just a love letter in my “One Minute with God” devotional at work. 

I flipped again when I arrived at work. The Bible I have at the shop is a Spiritual Warfare Bible. I flipped to Psalm 131 and found I was truly contented with EXACTLY where God has me in this moment. What a beautiful reminder we are to be like “Little children.” 

Father God, I am so grateful for all the ways you are showing up and showing off in our daily lives! Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! Please keep sanctifying my soul and spirit and reveal to me anything of this world to which I ought to be weaned. Your will, not mine. I ask in the precious name of Jesus and every drop of blood He shed for humanity. Amen.
