The Paul Harvey of it all

So here is the story of the step I took yesterday. I had looked at a house last week. When I first Googled directions, I knew it was close by, but did not recognize the street name. As I got closer to it's location, I realized that I know whose house it is.
When I walked in through the front door all I could do was cry. God's spirit was so sweet and His presence was very evident. As we walked through the house it seemed that it would be the perfect location, house, setting. If God has an Ephesians 3:20 on this one... I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE IT!
So my step was talking to the owner. I was really glad I had known the person for over 20 years. They already knew I was crazy, so they weren't caught off guard. It reminded me of the day that Geraldine and I went to Atlanta to meet Mary Frances. God blessed us both.
Their realtor had shared with them what the interested party wanted to use the house for. The wife cried upon hearing.
It was a blessed meeting and I can't wait to see what God does from this point.

And of course when I got home and checked the mail, there was a card from my sweet friend Martha. Here is a small portion of what she had written...God is reminding me to pray for "The Great House of God." He had friends praying before I ever asked.

I felt like a toddler who is struggling to take that first step. I knew my Abba Father was there right in front of me with His arms stretched toward me all the while saying ... "come on Susan, you can do it!"

Woo- hoo thank you Lord for arms to fall in to! For steps taken and that your Glory is always there all along!

Maybe you are tottering on the edge of a step He has called you to. Be blessed as you put that foot out into the wild blue yonder!
