I’m always amazed how God works. As I went for my haircut yesterday afternoon from my grandson, I was ready to talk with him about what I had written in the blog. Before the topic came up he said he’d gone to church on Sunday. His mom and siblings rarely go to church so this was big news. It seems his good friend invited him. His friend had begun to go with his girlfriend. As we conversed through the time we were able to talk extensively about the fears he had ahead of him. Final exams, applying for positions and so on. It was nice to have him open up and share. It also gave me a chance to let him know how God opened doors for me at that point in my life. God will do the same for him. 

There is great joy in helping another find God in their trouble/fears. I look back now and see Him so well in my own past. It helps greatly to have someone to confide in who helps you see God and understand how to turn ourselves over to Him, trusting Him rather than in trusting ourselves to get us through. Being able to express the present bondage we face is a huge step in finding God. If we can express the problem, it helps us see our problem in a different way. Every problem is made up of pieces. Finding these pieces help us see the steps needing to be taken to work through it. 

God waits patiently for us to find Him in the midst of our strife. So often it begins when we open up with someone we trust and let God begin His miracle working ways.
