Random Jesus Moment

As you know when I tell you something you get the whole back story so this is your warning...everything will have it's purpose eventually.

So, yesterday I was just really in this let me get things done mood and Megan and I went looking for options for the summer and are still considering those options and just really want what is best. I started watching the biggest looser because I wanted some alone time and just time to let my brain stop..isn't that what tv is for..and ended up falling asleep and being 30 minutes late for Chi Alpha and for those who don't know I LOVE worship at Chi Alpha because everyone is just so genuine and authentic so I was really bummed that I missed it. The rest of the service ended up being about building a discipleship community and the characteristics of said community which was very insightful and gave me much to think about. By the way I fell and hurt my foot which made me feel like a klutz. So I wake up this morning and my foot is throbbing and I just think great I have to go through a day with my foot hurting. I then just was quiet and began to feel better. Silence is golden. So anyway I had a pretty rough day with the kids(one of them got laundry soap in their eye) and was really struggling with my purpose for being here and how unworthy and unprepared I feel. I went to see Tiffani cuz she is my person and it really made me feel better and then I got to go see Michal as well so my day was actually turning out to be good. Then I remembered that I had no clean sheets and that I needed some to sleep on my bed. So I started asking around and everyone was busy. Then Tiffani called and told me to come eat with them...THANKS!! I walked in and Nathan and Tiffani and I got to have a really good conversation with them about the next step in my life. I really was unsure and scared at that exact moment because I realize the mutual trust required for it to work. I said I would read and pray about it..and didn't until I went to the laundry mat. I was sitting there watching my clothes wash and reading the brochure and I just asked the simple question to God of show me if this is what you want me to do. I really didn't think I would get an answer to be honest but I got so much more. I got to have an encounter with Jesus like no other in the middle of a laundry mat! I now know my next step which is very refreshing. I still need a job or a way to make some money..so keep praying!
