Be the vessel

I love to talk. Don't everyone gasp all at once! Some of you that know me the best know that I can make conversation with just about anyone...my husband says I could make it with a brick wall. I try really hard to take that as a compliment, haha. I do know that my background of moving over 18 times growing up has allowed me the ability to never meet a stranger and to talk to people as though I've known them my whole life. I don't know if that is a spiritual gift...but I do believe it is a gift. I believe that there are a great deal of people out there who are hurting and they are waiting for you to talk to them.

The other day I was sitting in the lobby of my daughters therapy clinic, a place I spend a better part of my life, and I spent time with a women who's shoes I'd been in two years ago. My heart was immediately taken back to a dark time and I remembered just where the Lord had brought me, the woman He'd made me and the new life He had given our family by allowing us to realize that our HOPE was in Him.

This precious mom has a special needs little boy that is beautiful. Words can't describe what a child of God he is...as I believe all special needs children are. His mother is where I was though, not understanding why...needing answers. She's searching, she's seeking and she's hurting.

I sat there and prayed. I know without a shadow of a doubt that GOD spoke through me and gave me words to say. I'm a talker yes, but I am not able to provide comfort to the broken...He is. Our children's sessions are at the same time each week and I believe that the Lord has done this so that we will have each week to grow a friendship.

I know that He put the words in my mouth. He helped me to recall scriptures I quoted...scriptures that right now I can't remember that I said. THAT IS OUR JESUS.
It only takes the willingness to be the vessel. He will do the rest.

Much love,
