Today I prayed: Lord, show me this is what I’m supposed to be doing. I need motivation, nudge me to keep going. I feel weak, and am having feelings of doubt. God, you are greater than my weaknesses, please show me something; I need you.
Tonight at work: A widowed, 76 year old lady sat in my section. My first table of the night. She was very chatty, friendly, and cheerful. We talked about sweet potatoes, and about how she isn’t allowed to eat bread because it has too many carbs. Then, she began telling me about her husband who she lost last year. She laughed and said, “he’s up in heaven with Jesus, I wish I was there with him already too”. He was the pastor at a church right down the road. We got on the topic of missions work.
So, I proceeded to tell her about how I was leaving in July for the world race. I explained to her what it was, and she quickly grabbed my hand. She squeezed me tightly and said, “oh honey, bless your heart, can I pray for you?”
Right there, in the middle of my “section” at work, she spoke the sweetest, most uplifting prayer. Tonight, that kind lady was the answer to my prayer. God knew I needed the encouragement. I got my “kiss from the King”, and am overwhelmed by the way He continually shows me His love. He is faithful.
