Tuesday is the earliest day of the week that I wake up. I get up at 5am for a meeting at 6am. After an exciting night of my friend and maid of honor in my wedding getting engaged and being up with her and hearing the story you would think I would cancel my meeting. And I also thought that I would be very very tired and not make it to my meeting. I have had two really full days and looking ahead to Tuesday was not going to be fun becuase I had three meetings all before 11am. Well Tuesday has been amazing!
I arrived a little late to my 6am meeting but when I got there I found that my volunteers had started the meeting without me. This was great because they were moving right along just chatting away on the new things to move Club Rock forward. Since Sunday things in the people I work with are just exciting. To see the aren’t burned out they have found energy. And then having them tell me that they see a huge improvement in me and that I’m moving forward was a huge encouragement.
Then moving to my next meeting I had an hour to spend alone with God. I love these quiet times with God especially lately. I found him showing me so much in watching people and hearing conversations. Well i was at Java Haute and watched the workers (one which goes to my church and the only I have never seen before). They were happy and chatting away and as soon as they saw a car pull around they would say the name of the person and excatly what they would want before they would even order. The community of this little coffee shop brings such joy to my heart. To see that they care and love on every single person that walks in the door and knows them all by name.
It reminds me of how God knows all of us by name and gives us what we need at the right time. And that he cares and loves on us even when we don’t think we need it. As the people walked in they two workers would greet with a smile and would ask “How are you?” And I noticed they truly wanted to know unlike a lot of people now a days. I give these workers a huge prayer of thanks and huge hugs from my soul.
Well my next meeting starts and is such a delight and answered prayer. I have been praying and searching for a mentor for so long. And I have found one finally with some help from some great women I know. Well anyway, I love my mentor and even though we have only met for a couple of weeks she has open my eyes so much. Again another person in that truly wants to know how you are doing. All I can say is thanks Lord.
Finally my last meeting. As I walked in for this meeting I saw a face I knew. This person is a new friend. She has been going through stuff and to see that she was at the same place at the same time as me was uplifting…..not only for me but her also. I asked her how are you and she said “I wish I was at home wrapped up in a blanket watching chic flicks.” She said she just didn’t want to talk but I could see that she was in need of a smile. So I smiled and just chatted about cool little things that God does while we waited….I saw some turning around in her mood but then we had to go our seperate ways. Another great meeting…..but as I walked out of the building my friend was too and we both agreed that we need to hear things we already knew. As I looked down as I was talking to her I noticed a fuzzy outer seed from the dogwood tree.
This seed was so small and spread open like a butterfly…….this made me smile and thank God. This seed just reminded me that God wants us to soar with Him. And today for me, I have been soaring with Him and “It was Good!” (Genesis 1)
