Time: Where Are You?

A month since I posted!  Really?  Where does time go?!  AND I have much to be writing.

Such as...

1. Sat in an ER room with a friend with kidney stones, full of infection, yet always ready with a laugh. There in that room, about 1 AM, the Lord used my mouth to help direct to which hospital she would NOT be sent.  I felt sooooo strongly that she should not be go to the one she mentioned.  Why?  Not sure.  Just knew that traveling there was not His Plan.  Sometimes, He uses us in the dead of the night to be His Mouthpiece.  May we ever be willing to travel.
2. For the last two Sundays, I have taught youth Sunday School, leaving my former class where I had spent the last several years.  Sometimes, one has to move on.  Sometimes, one has to fill a need.  Sometimes, one receives a blessing in both.  This past Sunday, we had two newbies, who seemed to be sponges, absorbing nuggets from each topic. Please help me pray that they return.
3. Last Friday, several of us attend the Compass Fall Banquet.  Fun!  The food filled.  The fellowship fulfilled.  The tables inspired (we were asked to create our own centerpieces.)  The desserts sweetened (one of our ladies won second!)  The theme motivated.  Yes, a success.  
4. On Saturday, two others and I joined about 100 ladies from across the state for the 2nd Annual Women's Leadership University...where I won two tickets to hear Beth Moore next year in Hot Springs.  Yay!  Yay!  This was such a blessed day to spend with Jesus Girls.  A full day of learning and being reminded why we do what we do.  (Did I mention I ordered four books while there...thanks to the book recommendations by the speakers?  I may never recover from my book-buying love.  Just do not see that happening in the near future!)
5. Now, I sit here...as my sister recovers from quite the major surgery.  Bless her.  While I enjoyed breakfast this morning, I watched and listened.  To a young man, who sat and blessed his food.  To an older son (50ies at least) argue with his mother.  As I left, I left some money with the young man for his lunch.  He blessed me.  Maybe I blessed him.
6. During the time I have sat with The Sister, she has mentioned both days that mom and dad have come to pray for her.  Mom and Dad are in heaven.  What this says to me? The Sister has been really sick and she desires the prayers of people who she knows has contact with The Great Physician.  She would appreciate your prayers, also.

I know more has happened...but The Sister is snoozing.  In case you have forgotten or are blessed enough to not know, when the patient sleeps, the one staying should also snooze, for hospitals are not always a place of rest.  Goodness!  These hospital helpers just do not sleep!

Blessings!
