A God Day
I realize every day is a God day. But have you ever had those moments, days or weeks where there is no doubt in your mind it was God’s intervention? Today was just one of those days for me. One of those days that make’s the hair on your arms stand up and you can’t help but feel the Holy Spirit all around you.
I knew today was going to be a jam packed day. I was looking forward to it but was also dreading how exhausted I would be at the end of the day. What started off with a very early morning networking breakfast ended in a day of me wanting to rush home and share the days events with all of you.
This morning I had the honor of hosting a table at the 100 Wise Women Networking Breakfast. What that means is I got to lead our table in a discussion and was featured in the handouts. Our table was filled with exciting, beautiful and engaging women. We had a very lively discussion and we found ourselves laughing and giving and receiving great advice from one another.
While at the table I noticed this very tall, curvy, beautiful women walk across the room. Her hair was, let’s just say “Fabulous”. After the networking event was over I noticed she was walking out the same time I was. I wanted so bad to tell her how fabulous she was but couldn’t get up the nerve. Inside my head God was telling me, just tell her. Just tell her. And So I did.
As we took the escalator down, I asked her what she did for a living and she told me she just published a children’s book about adoption. I told her I am trying to finish a book about healing and forgiveness; which also includes adoption. We both stood there with chills running down are arms. Smiling from ear to ear. We walked to the side and shared a little more and exchanged information. Wow! I could help but walk away from that thinking, “That was ALL God”.
My next stop was to visit with a childhood friend on her farm. She gave me a tour. We talked about the bags she creates and we took a drive. While on this drive I couldn’t help but stare out the window and think, “How beautiful our world can be”. I told my friend I can see how she can get sucked up into this life style, as I felt so absolutely calm. She is still and always has been extremely intelligent, which I find a little intimidating. And yet at the same time I found her to be refreshing and have such a loving spirit. Her home was charming, the farm calming and her family was absolutely beautiful.
Then I was onto my last appointment of the day. Which I thought would be the hardest. Yet I had a certain ease when I arrived. I truly believe it was because of my trip to the farm and the visit I had with an old friend.
The customer was well prepared. He read my background and was intrigued by my technology and my religious studies degree. He even quoted what I have often said, “Religion and Technology a rare combination”. We talked about technology, our kids and then about web development. At the end of the day, God provided me more work and for that I am truly grateful.
Exhausted for the emotionally charged day I come home to my boys. They can’t wait to tell me about their day. As much as I want to rest and wind down, I know the time for that will come later. Today, as in everyday, was filled with God. Today I was just more aware. Today was just a God day!
Luv, Luv,
