Amazing Stuff!

Today I slept in and cuddled with Jay. It was my last day of break, and I wanted to spend my last "free" morning with Jay. It was nice. We cuddled, watched NCIS, and he fell asleep! It was great.

After cleaning up and eating lunch, I headed out to drive the shuttle. I was signed up for a double shift because they were short drivers for the Leadership Summit. I drove from about 1-3:30, and then came home to let Jay out. He didn't do his "duty" before I left, and I knew he needed out. I returned to drive my shuttle (#4, my favorite!) and had fun driving people to and from FSM. I wound up doing the Overflow Lot for a while and had some repeat riders from last night. It was fun.

My favorite part of my day came at the end. I was scheduled to drive until 10, but someone showed up at 7:30 and took over. I was hesitant to stop driving because I was having fun, but since tomorrow is our first day back at work, I wanted to go to sleep early. So, since it was 8:00 I went to the Prayer Room for a little while.

I went in and Laura Hackett was leading. I really enjoy Laura's leading. She was singing some really good stuff and it was fun to just enter in and not worry about anything. A little while later, I was debating about leaving, but the Lord told me to sit still. I will admit, I didn't understand why because I still had to go to the store before getting home. But, I sat.

A few minutes later I saw a family getting up to leave. I didn't recognize them, and honestly didn't think much of it because people come and go from the Prayer Room all the time. Next thing I knew, the Mother of the family came over and sat by me and took my hand and started whispering in my ear.

She told me that she was blessed by riding in my shuttle at Onething. She said the my prayer at the beginning of the drive really helped her. (I should mention that my prayer at the beginning of all my groups was that we would have safe travel and that if someone was sitting by someone they didn't know that they would easily strike up a conversation.) She told me that it was because of my prayer that she stepped out of her comfort zone and met about 5 new people. She finished, and left.

I just grinned ear-to-ear. In a setting like that, you step out and pray and share stuff, and then you're not sure how it was received. Not that it totally matters, as God is in the midst of it, but it made me smile.

God used me to help someone else.

I pray I don't lose the wonder and amazement of that. Not that it's me, it's God.

It's just cool to know I am hearing and following His lead!

SWEET.

Life.
Is.
Amazing.
