Little miracles are the God moments

I was just reminded today that if God wants you to do something, it's awesome at how easily he makes it happen.

Shortly after Katrina, I felt it pressed upon my heart so serve somehow in the relief efforts. Actually, the thought hadn't really occured until my mother suggested it after she saw an insert in a church bulletin. So I looked into a few places and got my contact info out there. But I didn't hear much, so I just waited. Then in September I found out that the Bridge was sending teams out and figured that this was a good opportunity to get out there. After September and October's opportunities went by, I was invited to join for the November or December team. It was more practical for me to go in December so I asked to be signed up. So I'm going to Slidell, LA for a week next month to help with the Katrina relief. No problem getting the time off with work.
The funny part is that all the impromptu meetings they've held, I alway had to work. I couldn't make one of them! Last meeting was on a Sunday and I always have Sundays off, but this particular day I was scheduled to work! I got an email that the meeting for the December team was going to be held this Tuesday. I have been working every single Tuesday since July! July 5th to be exact. So today being Friday and the meeting being 4 days away, I thought I would have to beg for the night off and hope that they would give it to me. I called ABC and started with the whole I have an important meeting sob story. Dom told me that I wasn't even on the schedule for Tuesday! Coincidence? I think not!
I just love those God moments where things just come together.
If you think of it, pray for not only my group, but all the other teams and individuals bringing to this desolate community a sense of hope and rebirth. Pray for saftey and that the necessary funds come through so that volunteers who serve down there have the the opportunity to mentor and witness to our neighbors whpo are trying to rebuild and move forward.
