OH WHAT A DAY!!!

 
God is always present but sometimes, HE BLOWS MY MIND with His power showing itself! Since being called into ministerial counseling, I found and joined the AACC (American Association Christian Counselors) and am working towards not only my "core" accreditation but my advanced accreditation. OK, let's fast forward a bit.
 
I have an "A" GPA and really thought that after notify my pastor & associate pastor, as well as their wives, that this would mean me basically listening, hand holding, comfort, etc. You know, the "easy" stuff. BOY WAS I SO WRONG!
 
I get calls to come and anoint & pray for sick, scared, whatever, and I go. HOWEVER, IN THE LAST 10 MONTHS I HAVE HAD 5 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CALLS & EPISODES AT MY DOOR! Now, do keep in mind, I'm not advertising, not anything except the above persons notified and word of mouth about my curriculum on my calling.
 
When I began to calculate the number, I began to wonder "God, is THIS where You are leading me?" Well, the Holy Spirit really began to push me to call my aunt. My late uncle was a pastor and he was my late dad's mentor, so I called my aunt to ask for advice. Her response...."OH HONEY! THIS IS A GREAT MINISTRY AND YOU GO FOR IT! As time goes on, things in this world will get worse. You just keep close to the Lord, read your Bible and follow God's word." All I could think was "Well, if that ain't confirmation......"
 
Prayed further and told God I had no clue where to start, what to do, who to speak with, etc. and that He would have to do all the work and set up. Be careful what you pray, my friends! LOL
 
Well, I thought there was no use in re-inventing the wheel, so I called what used to be the local Domestic Violence resource in our area. No luck. After 3 days finally got in touch with the MAIN facility in the next county. They were thrilled at the thought of a "spiritual" aspect to the program. So, this I felt was at least a start. They wanted me to be on the local STOP committee to which I agreed and I assured them I do not Bible thump but if the victims want prayer, I'm available. If the victim just wants someone to listen and hold their hand, I'm available.
 
So, off to the Dr for my appointment, but still not satisfied that anything is really taking place in MY AREA. I saw an old friend working their whom I'd not seen for 2+ months! We hugged and agreed to catch up after my appointment.
Guess, just 1 guess, who is on the BOARD OF DIRECTORS? Yes, my long lost friend I'd not seen for 2+ months and had agreed to "catch up" with!!!!! All I could do is sit with my mouth gapped open, I then patted her leg and said "Honey, this is what you call Divine Intervention! I've been praying about this." (PS - She isn't a Christian and not sure she even believes in God.)  She asked me to be on the BOARD of DIRECTORS to boot!  OK, now you may feel free to freak as I did.
 
So, I've always heard, when you're on the path God wants you on, He will open doors for you. Not only that, but I was told that money is an issue and guess what... I told them I knew someone who was head of a foundation that was for the betterment of our area. They were not even aware of this other organization!!!
 
Now, tell me God doesn't stack things up like dominoes with all things falling right into place.
 
PRAISE BE TO GOD THE FATHER, GOD THE SON, AND GOD THE HOLY SPIRIT! WOW!
