Freaked out!!

I took my dad to the doctor today in McAllen. When he went in, I stayed out. There was an old lady who kept looking at me. She struck up a conversation with me and I could tell she was lonely. She started making her way over to sit next to me. I wanted to keep reading but told myself God put her there for a reason and I should humor her! I thought about what my Pastor Randy said sacrifice should be. "Sacrifice is not doing something I want to do so I can do something for someone else." Which is why I was taking my dad in the first place!Then the thought crossed my mind, where my church's technical director and friend, Ken, once told me that maybe the weekends that I serve are the messages that God is really trying to get through to me. (See, the thing about sacrifice was from a recent weekend where I do the PowerPoint for the four services the church has on the weekends.)
Anyway, she reminded me a bit of my grandma Gomez who I miss dearly and I do actually enjoy talking to older people. Such wisdom from a different time.
There we were talking about her life when she asked me about mine. She asked if I was married and had any kids. She then proceeded to tell me what was going to happen to me in my future. I won't divulge the details cause I'm rather freaked out!! She told me that God is good and brave and he always takes care of us. She said that when the things she told me do happen, that I'll remember her. I was in such awe by the things she said that I stopped wishing that my dad would call me in with him! Sometimes I'm still selfish like that. I have no idea if there was any truth to her words but I was fascinated by how much she seemed to know about me and my life. Who knows? God knows. I take comfort in Him and his plans for my life.
She was then called in to see the doctor, stood up and introduced herself and gave me a hug. What a morning! You never know who God will put in your path but be ready and accepting!

God is good!

I don't understand a lot of things but I do understand that God is good! Thank you Lord, for your love, forgiveness, and mercy. God is good and has always taken care of us. I need to serve him more and not be so selfish. God is good! : )

Looking forward to the afternoon with the hubby and all the things we're going to do together. God is good!
