Slacker

I am a slacker!! I realize that it has been almost two months since I posted last! I figured that is unacceptable, therefore I am going to step my game up.

Enough of that. Something cool happened to me yesterday. I was exiting a typical study session at my Starbucks and as I got into my car a man came up to my window asking for some help. His car ran out of gas and he needed a couple gallons to get to his wife who had his wallet and money. I gave him a 5 and he was on his way. I kid you not, NOT 30 seconds later...AS I'M DRIVING AWAY TO MY APARTMENT, a general manager of TGI Friday's flags me down. He is stranded and needs to get to his car, which is in the shop, a couple exits up the freeway. I have him hop in and help him with the situation! That has NEVER happened to me in my life! Within literally a couple of minutes I was able to help a two stranded guys. I do not believe in coincidences and Jesus' words "...I was a stranger and you welcomed me...as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me" were playing in my mind throughout the whole experience.
I now pray every morning: "God, reveal yourself to me today. Help me to be others-centered and give me an opportunity to show your love." ...I believe He did just that and will continue to do so.
