God Was Messing with Me...
Today has been an overly busy day filled with lots of assignments, work, and periods of boredom (World Lit Survey Class). However, as my consciousness leaves me as quickly as rum from Capt. Jack Sparrow's rum bottles, I wish to note how God rocked my world in little ways today!
(Warning: in order to appreciate this you must understand that I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidences) It started in the morning, walking from class, that I began to be truly in awe of my relationship with a mysterious God. We don't know what Jesus looked like, nor do we see him in a physical form (at least most of us don't). I think this is INCREDIBLE to say it plain and simply. But, as the day shows, Jesus makes himself visible by ACTING in our lives.
Today, Jesus did this in a way that made me wonder if I had psychic powers. Let me list the incidents:
1.) In World Lit class, I hoped the professor would call on me to discuss the Odyssey and not read from the book because I had left my book at home. And guess what...IT HAPPENED!
2.) On the way to work, I called Whit but she didn't answer. I saw a black BMW drive by, I thought of her again, and BOOM! I get a call back from her!
3.) At work, I looked in the cash register and thought "We need some more ones really soon!" The next lady that I served paid ENTIRELY IN ONE DOLLAR BILLS!
4.) While waiting for customers, I noticed the bagels were still out. On contemplating whether or not to put them away, I thought "I mean really, who's going to want a bagel at 6:30 in the evening?" Shortly thereafter, a little girl came in and bought a bagel!
5.) At work, I ordered dinner from Sullivan's expecting to pay for it with cash that lay in my wallet. At the end of the night, I had about $11 in tips. Then, the server from Sullivan's came in and gave me my bill...for $11.
So, how has Jesus shown himself to YOU today?
