Costco, in the check out line.

I ran over to Costco for a few things and in line, which was long, I had the opportunity to talk with the young mother of two children ahead of me.

I did not have a word of knowledge, vision, leading, zippo. Instead, she was holding a liquid vitamin I had just looked at but put down. So we talked about it. Then I talked to her son who was strapped into his seat in the cart in order to help her get through the check out line. He was getting restless.

She told me that the supplement interested her since she has Asthma. Ha, she is dealing with a health issue, I decided to ask God for the opportunity to pray for her. But we were at the checkout, and by the way, she was paying for her groceries. She finishes, walks out with both kids who now want to leave in a big way.

I pay for my groceries quickly and head out to the parking lot. I asked God to put us back together as I walked to the exit.

I reach the parking lot and here she comes walking right towards me, she laughed when she saw me and explained she'd passed her car and realized it at the end of the row which caused her to turn back, towards me. God led her right to me!

I asked her if she was a praying person. She replied yes. I asked her if I could pray for her asthma. She said yes. While praying for her I checked in and asked her if she felt anything, she said warmth. I prayed more and blessed what God was doing. She stood and received it as if she was so thirsty for God's touch.

After praying I asked where she went to church. She is new in the area and was waiting for someone to invite her, well, come on now. I did just that. She said she is so hungry for a good Christian church, which God knew, so He led her to me in order to point out a church for her to visit.

God is so amazing.

Romans 10:14 How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them? 15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, "How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!"
