All I can say is UNCOMFORTABLE!!!!

Two pretty cool things happened yesterday that I want to quickly share with everyone.

First Thing

About a month ago I applied to be a Big Sister with the Big Brothers Big Sisters Organization. I had my interview a couple of weeks ago and finally found out yesterday that my application was accepted!!! I am so excited that I get to be a big sister. I will be meeting her in the morning so please say a prayer the God will give me the words to say so I will be able to bless this child.

Second Thing

For those of you that are familiar with Murfreesboro then you are probably aware of the road construction on Fortress Blvd. It has been a very LONG project. Anyway, I go down this street just about everyday. Yesterday, as I am driving past all the cones I look over and there is this poor guy standing out there in the pouring down freezing rain working. As soon as I saw him, God told me to go get him some coffee and something warm to eat. I did not want to do this at all. I just knew I was making this up in my head and surely God would NOT want me to go get food for this man. Well as soon as I turned onto my street I knew 100% that it was God asking me to do this. So I turned the car around went to McDonalds. The whole way there all of these thoughts were going through my head....How much am I suppose to order? What am I suppose to order? What am I suppose to say to this guy? How am I suppose to get the food down to him? Where am I going to park? I am going to get soaking wet! God I do NOT want to do this!! This is way way way out of my comfort zone!

Of course when I pull into McDonalds the line is around the building and moving very slow. Which I am sure God arranged for me to help me out in the patience dept. lol As I start to order, somehow I know exactly what I needed. I ordered 4 coffees & 5 sausage biscuits. On the way back to Fortress Blvd, my mind was racing again. Why did I get so much food? I only saw two people. How in the world am I going to get this stuff down to this guy. There is no where to park! I just pictured me having to walk a mile in the pouring down rain, spilling coffee all over me as I try to hold on to a large bag of sausage biscuits and condiments. Really the only thing I had going for me was that I had put my rain boots on that morning. lol

Then suddenly had peace with the whole situation. I knew right where I would park and knew exactly what to say and do. So as I head down Fortress I am able to park exactly where I was thinking. I grab a napkin out of the bag write "May God bless your day" on it and shove it back in the bag. I then look over my shoulder and see 4 guys sitting in a truck. Imagine that! How many coffees did I get? Not sure about the 5 biscuits maybe one of them was extra hungry. lol Anyway, the guy I saw working out in the rain gets out of the truck and I proceed to tell him that I drove by earlier, saw him out in the pouring down rain, and wanted to give him something warm to drink and eat. I handed him the bag and coffee. Then told him to have a blessed day.

Now, I have no idea if these guys even needed food or coffee. I have no idea why God asked me to do this. Maybe he just wanted to see if I would take that leap of faith and do as he asked. I faced my fears and was able to bless four people!!

Hugs & Prayers
