Trip to the tropics, part 1.
While I was away, early during my trip I went to an outdoor activity where there were street performers doing there thing and a young man took seat at the bench I was sitting on, he was being rather unpolite in his terminology towards one of the performers. At first I tried not to pay much attention, however at one moment he addressed me with his comments about the performer, I turned to him and asked him did he know the Lord, he responded that at some point in time he did and elaborated on telling me how he had been in an accident and sustained a seroius head injury which required surgery, he showed me a very visible scar on his head. The surgeon told his mother that they didn't expect for him to come out of the operation without a disability, after the operation the surgeon disclosed that he (the dr.) had had God perform the surgery as he felt his hands being guided thru out the operation. The young man came out of it with no complications. I asked him, if God called you back would you serve Him, the young man responded to the effect that it would be hard for him but with uncertainty stated he'd try, I replied to him do you know that God loves His Children. Some friends called over to him to continue walking with them, as he got up he extented his hand and said in spanish "My name is Eugenio, will you please keep me in your prayers". I have asked the Lord to lead Eugenio and guide him. This event then points to God's Perfect timing in putting two of His Children in the right place and the right time, to share in a moment the glory of God in Eugenio's past and the glory of God at that very moment. If you are lead to do so, ask our Lord to watch over Eugenio and to strengthen him, as this young man will be a valuable asset for the Kingdom. God bless you all!

Yes Lord we pray for this young man. Father we thank you for this divine appointment he had with Joe. We know Lord there are no accidents in your kingdom. Father draw this young man back to you. Convict his heart. Father speak to him and remind him of all you have done for Him in the past and what you desire for him to do for your glory in the future. May he yield his life to you! Call him Lord and the voice of the enemy he would no longer follow. Oh Father bring Him back!! In Jesus Name
When you sit back and think of this situation, how two separate people from two different parts of the world came together for a brief moment to talk about Jesus, how can you NOT believe in Him!!! He is coming faster than any of us think. More and more people are being called to Him and more and more of us are being led to minister His Holy Word. Joe, you are such an inspiration to us all!!
