I went to the Broken for you message at church last night and left forever changed. When it was over I was awe-struck, all I could do was sit and pontificate on the depth of Christs love for me. As the time was nearing for me to descend the mountain and head out into the world I began walking well more like floating to the parking lot. I'm usually one that has my keys in my hand before I even start toward a parking lot but this night I opted to get them out at the car. To my shock, they were not where I had put them as I headed into church. It was one of those moments where I know they are in there I just can't find them. I took everything out of my purse, laid each item on my car to see if the keys had some how gotten stuck inside my wallet or stuck down at the bottom of my purse and I just did not see them. I did this not once but twice, can anyway say denial! I began to track my steps and knew that my keys had to be in one of two locations so I headed back to the bookstore to wait for my hero of the night to arrive with his master key. As I stood staring through the windows of the bookstore at the counter I prayed and I prayed and I prayed for God to show me my keys. Moments later my friend Steven W. Murray (http://stevenwmurray.blogspot.com/) arrived at the bookstore and grasped my keys from the door handle of the bookstore entrance, the keys had been kindly placed there by the bookstore staff as they were closing for the holiday weekend. As the keys fell into my hand I thought how God knows our need before we ask and often the answer to our prayers are right before our eyes.
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few. Ecclesiastes 5:2
