God Put Her There
Hey friend,
Today's show reminded me that God is often working when we don't even realize it.
And sometimes the moments that seem random…
aren't random at all.
Here are a few moments that really stayed with me.
🚲 She Followed the Nudge
Keller was having a rough day.
She decided to leave work early.
Driving home, she noticed a young boy riding his bike alongside the highway.
Something felt wrong.
She turned around.
The boy was one of her former students, Cameron.
His dad was having a diabetic emergency, and Cameron couldn't unlock the phone to call 911.
Because Keller stopped, help arrived in time.
His dad is expected to make a full recovery.
Later Keller said:
"There is no doubt God put me there."
🎨 You're Not a Mistake
Bob Ross used to say:
"We don't make mistakes. We have happy accidents."
I love that.
Because sometimes we look at our failures and think:
"I'm ruined."
But God sees something different.
He takes broken things and paints masterpieces.
You are not a mistake.
🍦 Mrs. Delicious
After losing her great aunt, Stacy needed something to bring joy back into her life.
So she bought a three-wheel ice cream cart.
Now every summer she becomes "Mrs. Delicious."
People constantly buy extra treats for strangers.
Grief became generosity.
And sadness became joy.
🍎 The Garden of Eden Changed My Perspective
One pastor pointed out something I had never noticed before.
Adam and Eve had to walk past all of God's abundance to reach the one thing they didn't have.
Wow.
How often do we do the same thing?
Ignoring hundreds of blessings…
while focusing on one thing we're missing.
🙏 Prayer Doesn't Have to Be Complicated
Most people pray when life crashes.
But prayer isn't only for emergencies.
You don't need fancy words.
You can simply say:
"Hey God, show me what You want for my life."
That's enough.
❤️ Trust Him
My son Ezra tells me:
"Trust me, Dad."
The problem is…
he usually leaves a trail of Cocoa Pebbles behind him.
Jesus says:
"Trust Me."
The difference?
He's earned it.
He's never failed you.
And He never will.
🙌 Final Thought
Maybe today you're focusing on the one thing you don't have.
Maybe God is inviting you to look around.
Because His blessings are everywhere.
And even when you can't see it…
He's still working.
