Well, the session yesterday morning went as God’s Holy Spirit led–not as I had planned. The young man and I did meet and the conversation regarding his new employment went well. It is an excellent job for him and he is already excelling. As I introduced the book I wanted to give to him and told him briefly about it, his phone rang. (This was towards the end of the session). He looked to see who was calling, it was his father. He asked if he could take a minute to find out why and I said of course. This call ended the session taking over the time we had left and I needed to move to my group session which follows this one. I have learned to follow God’s timing in things like this. Just writing this out gives me a chance to see areas we still need to address regarding who Jesus is and who this young man is to Him. One step at a time here.
This afternoon I’m meeting with an old high school friend who has come to our area from Portland, OR. He was one of two christian friends I had in high school. He has always been a devout christian. He is a retired pastor and is always encouraging anyone his path crosses. I haven’t seen him since our 50 year high school reunion 6 years ago. It will be nice to see him even for a few hours.
GOD IS SO GOOD!
