CATFISH SANDWICH AND A STRAWBERRY MOON PIE

Sometimes God will open a door for a brief moment and give us a opportunity to do his will. It is very easy to miss if you are not listening for his voice. This last week on mission trip was one of those times. We saw an old woman come out onto the porch of a home that we just knew was condemned. Talk about shocked ! Human nature is to do the look away and move on, but we felt called to see what God had in mind. We were able to find out that she was if fact renting this dump so we with CTCYM couldn't ever work on the house. Time for another look away. We kept after it and found that the owner of the house was also the building inspector in this tiny Mississippi town, WOW. We were actually able to negotiate a price ($2000) and buy the home for this woman. We were so busy with mission trip we were not even able to tell the woman that she now owns her home.
To be present at such a miracle is a true blessing! To buy a home in 2 days is not of this earth, and if you don't believe that try it some time.
We get nudges from God from time to time. They are easy to miss. If we are paying attention He will walk with us every day. He just wants for us to take his hand and walk with him, he will do all of the heavy lifting. If we had done the look away how long would it be before God tried again? 6 months, a year? Be present and open to Gods call, it is faint at times but always there. I think that it is so cool that we got to walk with him like that last week. I try to live for that at all times and it seems to get easier every day. Thanks God that he is present with us like this, and thank God that I am able to notice. Try to notice !
p.s. If you are ever in Beulah Mississippi go to the quick stop and have a catfish sandwich and a strawberry moon pie! And try not to bite your fingers.
