It all Started with Kitty Litter!

Every morning I wake up, pray, then grab the Bible and read any scripture that I happen to stumble upon. This morning I read Isaiah 42 and Acts 8:26-40. Upon reading these chapters I felt as though God was telling me to be a servant for him. And just the other night I was thinking to myself that I should create a blog for God. So, anyhow, the kitties needed cat litter so I jumped out of bed and walked across the street to the market. I bought the litter and headed back home. I was just about to cross the street when an older lady whispered to me "Miss!" I turned and noticed that she had a cane and was holding some rather heavy groceries. She asked me if I would help her so I grabbed her groceries and began tot escort her across the street. She began to thank God and say God bless you and all those nice things. But then our conversation got a little deeper. She asked me about myself as she in turn told me about herself. She told me how she loved Jesus and that she waited on that sidewalk for someone to help her and when she saw me she knew. Her unwavering faith and love for God amazed me as she talked about how the doctors said she wasn't going to live to see 59 and now she's 67!  She said "I asked God to let me see 70 and I know he will let me live until then, because I asked! I was reading Isaiah this morning and God said I know your name! He knows my name! I'm not just....anybody! He loves me! Before you leave my house I want you to know that God loves you! Forget your mother, your father, anyone!...No one loves you like God."......I really needed to hear her words. Lately I've just been so worried about finances and my career.....my mind has just been so boggled. But this woman. This woman with serious health problems stood in front of me with faith stronger than the arms holding her groceries, looked at me and told me that she will live to see 70 because she asked. People....there is a God out there, right now, stopping death, answering prayers, and taking a simple errand like getting cat litter and turning it into a blessing. I love God. It's so funny. He told me this morning that he wanted me to serve him and in my mind I was like sure, I'll make the blog today...but little did I know he'd give me something to blog about on my way to the store.
