Walking with the Father and His plan

Today I ran into someone who was a big influence in my life. She is a woman of God who raised twin daughters too only a little ahead of me. God brought her into my life during my girl’s teenage years.
When I first heard about her at church I went hunting to meet her and received a huge blessing. She lives the Word. She taught me so much in the short time of our relationship but when God took us different directions she left me with a hunger to know God better. She was used by God to aid me in understanding a close relationship with God. I have used many of the things from her life in leading other women to know God. I have been wanting to see her and thank her for all she did for me that perhaps she never knew. Every thanksgiving season I think about her and thank God for her godly influence in my life. Today in the grocery store I was on the phone talking to my mom when she walked past. I told my mom there was someone I needed to go see. I could tell she was in a hurry and I called her name a couple of times. I know the feeling of hurry so I decided it best not to bother her as I know if she is like me she is on the move with many things in her life. I silently prayed “Lord if you want me to see Nancy, then I will need to just run into her without chasing her.” I went in the opposite direction and after finishing my shopping was going to the front of the store. I came around a corner and there she was walking right at me.
He reminded me again today that He is in control. He is trustworthy.
I needed that truth today. There is much happening in my life to make my heart sorrow and God said to me “ I know that and I want you to know I am in charge even in the grocery store of who crosses your path.”
Isn’t God good? Walk with Him today and watch out in the grocery store as you might just meet a blessing!
