So, there I was

So, there I was is a common phrase among aviation types; it's often followed by the words "at 30,000 feet".  It's a story starter for something that usually involves the sudden onset of calamity and usually has a satisfactory ending.

So, there I was, laying on the bed, talking with God and discussing something about His changing plans.  God does that sometimes, I think, but for reasons I never understand.  I'd earlier made a comment while mopping the floor abut just once having an answer to a prayer that I expected.

But the thought that the Holy Spirit shared with me is this:  What fun would that be?

I'm two weeks into this prayer challenge and all I can say is WOW!  Before the start of it, I'd asked God what He was up to in my life.  That's kind of a prayer, by the way, and all He would tell me was that He wasn't gonna tell me because I wouldn't believe it.

He was right.

I'm having coffee with a friend tomorrow.  That's probably a good thing.  Because past that, there are things afoot I don't understand and simply can't believe.

Anyway, back to the there I was part.  I pray out loud most times.  I talk to God like I would talk to a father.  Respectfully, remembering this Father created EVERYTHING.  But I talked to Him about His changing His plans in my life.  The words were probably still hanging in the cosmos when I picked up my phone to see an e-mail my friend shared with me today about God changing our plans and how we should look to see Him as we respond.

Coffee is gonna be interesting tomorrow.

Confirmation was instantaneous.

Sometimes I can talk about how things are going in my little life in general terms.  Sometimes I can tell you what's going on in my life.  Today is a General day.

But what a fantastic journey this prayer challenge has been.
