"Angel of Mercy how did you find me...."

Today was dynmaic, to say the least. It was supposed to be one of those relaxing days where you have absolutely nothing planned, in hope that by some miracle you can recoop from the past week. At around 1:30 I went to meet my mom for lunch. I happened to arrive early and started to review some notes that I had recently took regarding "the doctrine of man." (random I know) I started to read when the manager of the restaurant came to me and said, "is that your Bible?" I bet you can guess where this led..

As we began to talk about the Lord and what I was reading my mother arrived and jumped right into our conversation. The next minutes were absolutely glorious. Our friend began to open up about his life and what he felt God was doing in him and with his family, along with fears and struggles. It was as if time had stopped. The presence of the Lord was present in such a powerful way. I remember just sitting there as my mom began to speak scripture into our friends life and how God had shown us His victory and power through our trials as a family, similar to what he was currently experiencing with his family. My spirit was in such a state of awe as this transaction took place. We ended up speaking with this man for almost an hour! O' the faithfulness of our father! It was such a good reminder of how God is so merciful in that He meets us where we are at. We are never out of the palm of his hand. This man so graciously shared with us his testimony of how he used to sell and use drugs, I mean you name it he probably did it. And yet now his heart is burning for others, espeically the youth of America and of the nations. But-there was fear, and there was anxiousness and worry holding him back from what God was calling him to do and yet God used a mother and daughter, at a lunch table to encourage a fellow brother in time of need. May I never forget the faithful love of our gracious heavenly father.
