Last night I was to have 2 young men come to our home for dinner. They are two who have been struggling a great deal and I’m taking them through the book Voices of the Heart. I’ve written about them before. One of the two has two children from a previous marriage. He was needing to pick them up early in order to come to dinner. But, their mom was not cooperative throwing a kink in the plan. I was intending to delay our eating time to accommodate this, but then the other young man works the night shift presently so he had to leave by early evening. Just as I was turning the burner on to start cooking, the night shift man text to indicate Saturday night would be better than Friday. I text the other one who was fretting about his ex and all of a sudden things changed to tonight and there was no conflict. I simply turned the burner off and place all of the intended food in the frig to be prepared tonight. The blackberry cobbler was already cooling so it will be enjoyed tonight too.

The young man with the two children had been texting me during the day yesterday about his conflicts and I kept telling him to have faith. God will work it out. Little did I know that I was the one who needed to be listening to God and changing my plan. Well, God got His message through and tonight we will enjoy the meal with the children and have no conflicts. This makes me smile as I write this. Oh, if I would only listen sooner!
