God is a God of SECOND chances 3/11/08 Tuesday

I am ecstatic, doing a VICTORY DANCE, PRAISING GOD, saying YES LORD! YES LORD! Here I am, and I am Your CHILD! I so want to encourage you as Hebrews 10:25 commands us.

Are you ready for this? Oh my, it just doesn't get much better than this....on a beautiful spring like day in Sunny Southwest Kansas!

I was emailing a friend about a study that we are going to do together over the Internet by Lysa TerKeurst titled, "What Happens When Women Say Yes To God". I had just read the first chapter and was sharing with Lelia that I thought I had missed God on Monday with a particular situation and walking in obedience. I honestly and simply wasn't sure if it was Him, or me.

I had no more than hit SEND when in walked a man to my office. I needed to finish up a "business" call that I was on and had to step away from my desk. When I walked back in, this young man had picked up my KJIL (Christian Radio) devotional as I had placed it out on the front counter. I receive two every time, one for us personally and one for our business.

I don't have a clue what came over me other than OBEDIENCE! And so I just stepped out in BOLDNESS AND FAITH & said, are you a Christian?

No Ma'am.

Why would you want that devotional?

Because I need to do some reading and I need some help from up above some days.

I said not some days, but 24/7; we ALL do. Then he asked me about the station and could he get it here locally.

I asked him if he would like to give his heart to Christ, and he said, "no I need to clean up some things first." I shared with him that He takes us just as we are, we don't need to clean up, He cleans us up. Believe me, I was a mess of a woman. We talked about denominations and local churches.

When he left, I told him that I would be praying for him to accept Jesus Christ. That I wasn't about denominations, but I was about being a Christ Follower and attending church.

His name is Miguel, will you join me in praying that God will chase him down?? !!!!

Matthew 7:21 The Message "Knowing the correct password - saying 'Master, Master,' for instance - isn't going to get you anywhere with me. What is required is serious obedience - doing what my Father wills."

With this situation that I found myself in I see: heart issues, obedience, walking my faith, truly telling the WORLD....OF GOD, The Great Commission!

IS THAT NOT LIKE GOD? Because I was kicking myself in the hiny over the situation yesterday, here He came pursuing me with another chance! A SECOND CHANCE!!! Jonah 3:1-3 is about God giving Jonah a second chance, grab your bible and dig in Girlfriends, learn about those second chances. .

Isn't that just the coolest?

Thank you for allowing me to BRAG ON GOD with His second chance for me.
