You know, God never ceases to amaze me. He shows up in the most unexpected places and ways. It is so glorious to be a part of His perfect will. I just had to share our story with ya'll.
So, yesterday, we had a meeting to go look at some horse tack for the girls horses. Kristina found an ad on Craigs List that was pretty close to where we lived, so we thought we'd go check it out.
Not only did the girls get two saddles, and numerous other items for a great deal (and some thrown in for free), but we got to share the love of the Lord with a single Mom and her (almost) 8 year old son, Micah.
Micah was instantly drawn to Michael. He was showing him all over the house, his room, his toys, and his heart. He was telling us all that Sunday, he is going to be 8 years old. He also told us that his Daddy was taken back to Mexico and he doesn't know if he'll ever see him again. It was heartbreaking. We spent 4 hours there just talking and listening.
After we left, the girls decided we needed to do something special for this momma and her little boy. We went to the store and bought him several birthday gifts. We called her this morning to invite them out to Pizza Hut to celebrate Micah's birthday. She was so grateful. Micah was jumping up and down with excitement in the background.
It was so fun watching Micah open his presents. He sure seemed to enjoy them. He ordered what kind of pizza we had. I think he liked being in charge of that department :o) He was very thankful and made sure to tell us several times. What a sweet boy. Those deep brown eyes of his could melt anyones heart!
It truly is amazing how God orchestrates meetings between people. We could have bought the tack and left, but there was a much bigger reason we were sent there. We were sent to share Jesus, and to love on these two people who need to feel HIS love. Thank You God, for using us in your plan. May YOU be glorified through it all!!
