Weird Coincidences??

It was a morning of almost eerie “coincidences” – or not?

I realize that not everyone who visits here is religious, so I rarely discuss religious issues. I attend my local Christian church weekly and sing in the choir. Still, I admit that I rarely attribute circumstances in my life to a Godly plan. In the instances when I have done so, I’ve tended to be proven wrong. If God sent this guy as an answer to all my prayers, then why is said miracle dumping me like yesterday’s garbage? See what I mean?

In yesterday’s post, I mentioned that I like to go out dancing and that I just can’t be in a bad mood while dancing. This morning, I got an email from a casual friend, someone I’ve only met a few times, asking if I wanted to join her and her friends at a waterfront hangout to hear our favorite local band. I emailed back that I would LOVE to join them; I’d had a supremely crummy week and this is exactly what I need.

Not more than an hour later, I got the email below from a woman in my Sunday school class at church. We don’t know each other socially. She doesn’t know anything personal about me beyond any random comments I might have made in class in connection to the lesson. Driving into work this morning (I have a long commute), I found myself praying for God to give me some direction; begging Him to show me what He expected from me; questioning why I never seem to hear Him. Apparently "TB" hears. It was nice of her to serve as messenger.

I don't know what you are going through but I think and pray for you often. God is always putting you on my mind...I am not sure why so I thought I would write. I don't know if you know this but my husband and I were separated for over a year and were going through a divorce. He (we) have a child through that separation time when he was with another woman. It’s been a few years now and things are going well but that time was extremely difficult for me. Men can be such jerks.

The Lord kept telling me and sometimes screamed at me "separate the truths of the Lord from the lies of men"....in my terms this meant that God saw me of value and he doesn't make junk and so don't listen to others who tell me different. The lies of men make us cry, feel unworthy, and ready to give up. The truth of God takes us and loves us and KNOWS we are here for some purpose even if for now we tread water...listen to God!! God is truth and a God of order...chaos is from the world...chaos is formed on lies...chaos is not God. Keep in the word to separate the truth from lies and know you are loved by us and by God!!

Wow... That's all, just "Wow..."
