Yesterday, we broke our “sharing group” into 2 groups, going separate ways.
Rusty took a group from Cartersville with him. I took Justin, Becci, Carol, Ryan, and the girls with me. 8 people in a 7 passenger van… . . .
I told them about the many times we’ve gone into the city, and really didn’t know where we would go. About how we’d just let God guide the turns and stops. And so, we did that again, yesterday.
As Ryan was guiding us to a spot in Vine City, I turned around to stop at a small park on Lowery Blvd. We piled out, and began sharing food.
The girls literally ran to people as they approached, as they couldn’t wait to share. The adults started meeting and talking and praying with people.
As I was talking to a new friend, I turned around, and saw an old friend that I hadn’t seen for over a year; Shane!
It was SO great to see him, and to introduce him to the others.
He told us that, that very morning, he’d been praying for favor. And that we’d come at just the right time. We provided him with some food, and some supplies he needed for his baby. And he went on and on and on about how good God is, and how we were the answer to his morning prayer.
Yes, it’s true. God guides our steps (AND our stops)
