Ms Evelyn

Wow! I can't put into words how overwhelmed I have been lately with God's presence. He has literally been in my face and directing my every move. Over this weekend I started to get really frustrated. I was continually praying for God to give me opportunities to minister. I felt like I had little moments, but felt really limited because I have been working all weekend. My thought was, "How am I suppose to go out and minister to strangers when I am stuck at work, where  I know everyone." And God to my surprise said, "I will SEND them to you!"

So here I am laying on my couch, just watching lifetime about to fall asleep when I get a text. The text is from an unidentified number. My heart starts racing and I read the first page. "Oh Miss April I just want you to know you are gonna be missed and tell the kids they are missed also. Don't forget to stay in close connect with God's people somewhere. Love you tons!!!!" At this moment the holy spirit just punched me in the heart. God said, "Here you are I sent you (via text message) someone to minister to now minster. So I replied to God and the unknown person. "This is Jenna. Miss April isn't at this number, but how can I pray for April and for you?"

As I waited for a response I was so overcome by God's presence I couldn't contain it. I started thinking. "I am going crazy! I just asked some random person, who texted me by accident if I could pray for them. A simple reply like, 'this isn't April' would have sufficed." Then she responded. "Thank you for asking my church is coming up on their 50th anniversary, so prayer for them would be great." For some reason after getting that text I started pacing and getting very anxious. I ran to my bedroom and God said, "Call her!" "Really God? Call her!"

"You want me to call a person I don't know and talk with them! Okay I am crazy! Lets do it!" So I called Ms. Evelyn. The phone rang and my heart started sinking as I was searching for the words to say. Hello wasn't enough! "Hello? This is Jenna. The person who just text you. Who is this?" "Miss Evelyn." "Hello Miss Evelyn! I wanted to call you, because I have been praying for God to put strangers in my life I can pray for, so I wanted to talk to you and see what you needed in prayer." "Oh child, thank you for calling. I would love for you to pray for me. You can pray for me and my well being." In this I prayed for Ms. Evelyn and that she have a relationship with God, that God show her God's love, and God surround her. Ms Evelyn said my prayer really helped and asked that God bless me for following after Him.

God is drastically moving in my life and the more God leads me to situations like this, the more I see how real and amazing he is. My prayer for you that you step out boldly for Christ and ask him to move drastically in your life. Words can't describe how in awe I am of God, but I am!
