A Vessel

Everyday I wake up and wonder what the Lord has for me for that day. I try not to look beyond that day, I just wonder what will happen throughout that day until I climb back into bed that night. Some days I know parts of my day but I honestly pray that somewhere in my day something will happen spontaneously by the Lord so that I can be His vessel. Today that happened.

After driving shuttles tonight, I went into The Awakening Service. I'll admit that I read my book during testimonies. Several of them I had heard Sunday at Church, so I read my book. After that, Matt led us in worship and I entered in. In front of me was a gentleman that I had never seen before. As I entered into worship, the Lord started speaking to me about the guy. I sat down at the end of worship and prayed. As I sat down, he got up and left. I wondered if the word I was getting was so that I could just pray for him, or if I was supposed to share what I was hearing. Next thing I knew, he was back and gathering his things to leave. So, I tapped him on the shoulder and asked if it would be okay if I shared what the Lord was showing me concerning him. He said, "Sure". As I shared the word, I looked behind him, toward the stage. When he looked at me, he had tears streaming down his face and he thanked me. I told him the polite, "You're welcome" and he got up to leave. At that point, I just looked down at the floor and prayed. It's been a while since I stepped out in faith like that, and I thanked Him for guiding me. And, then I smiled. It felt GREAT to be a vessel.

As I was staring at the floor in prayer, I felt a tap on my shoulder. I looked up and there he was staring at me. He thanked me and just wanted me to know that the word was right on. *grin*

Life.
Is.
Fun.
