Smellin’ Coffee

Praise God for His wonderful words to my heart today!

I was driving home from my piano lesson and took the long way to drive by a coworker’s house. Nikki just put in her 2 weeks’ notice because she graduate college and is putting her degree to work for her. She’s going through some tough times and God led me to pray for her while driving by.

After that (it’s only 5 minutes to my house), I let go of these past few days of irritation and agitation and finally said to God, “I’m ready for whatever you have planned.”

God said, “I’m going to move you up a big step. It will be difficult for you, but keep your eyes on me. Keep your focus on Me, but don’t lose focus or stop working at the things which are right in front of you. Don’t alienate yourself from people in your life. Keep your eyes on Me.”

I think I started crying. I’m sure I did. I can’t remember if I thanked God for His words then, but I am thanking Him for his words now. Then I was going to drive to Mickey D’s for a cup of coffee (our coffee maker takes an hour or better!) but I heard the same voice tell me just to go home. So I decided I would go home and make some for Rob and me.

When I pulled in the driveway, my darling Kody-bear ran up to the car all waggley and sweet. I petted him, dead-headed the flowers by the door, and then opened the door to see my sweet Rob sitting on the couch, working and watching tv. And then I looked into the kitchen to verify….

Rob made a pot of coffee while I was gone.

For me, that was all the verification I needed to know it was REALLY God speaking to me. Praise be to God, the Almighty, the King of Creation!!!!!
