So it has been a while since I’ve blogged. Sorry!
I’m usually better, but lately I’ve been busy-not uninspired.
Lately I’ve been busy with school, and we have started basketball, and I’ve been a little sick, not to mention going home for the homecoming weekend, and hanging out with my darling niece and nephew, and rekindling friendships from high school at my 5 year class reunion. Oh and not to mention…MY BABY SISTER GOT ENGAGED!! It was kinda a special thing because the wedding set that her and her fiance picked out was built from my parents wedding set. It’s sentimental :).
All this aside I wanted to reflect on something that happened this weekend. Friday night the Chariton High School Class of 2006 had a little pre reunion get together. In the midst of reminiscing about stupid decisions and spontaneous adventures something out of the blue happened. One of the guys I graduated with sat down next to me and started talking to me about all kinds of things. It started with what he was up to and how his family had changed but then it took a turn. He started to talk to me Christianity.
Sitting in that moment I was awed at how God’s timing was working in my life. He put me in that place at that exact time for that exact conversation. God is so big and God is so good. I was humbled and knew I didn’t have anything of worth to say to him, but I could see that he was searching, he was really looking for some reassurance. God trusted me enough to let me be the person in his life at that moment.
After leaving that conversation I felt so excited to see God’s hand, but at the same time I felt like I was not prepared for that situation. I am convinced that moments like that are the reasons I need to challenge my self to be a student of the faith I claim.
In that moment it was obvious to me. I wish a couple days prior to that conversation I had had that epiphany, but I didn’t. There is no time like the present to make priorities really a priority.
