I was sitting in the McDonald's drive thru this morning, as I do many mornings. I was thinking about the vehicle in front of me with a trailer that had a zero turn lawnmower on it. I am very grateful for the lawnmower we have AND I'd like to make the task of lawn mowing a little easier for my husband. We call our current mower the "Red Devil" for a reason.
So while I was waiting to get to the first window to pay for our breakfast, I said "God, I want a zero turn for DP." I know that if I want something, all I have to do is ask. God is my Papa and He owns the cattle on a thousand hills. The World is His and everything in it. Not only that, but He wants good for me and every good thing I already possess came from Him. So I wasn't afraid to tell him what I wanted for my husband. What I was about to find out is that He (God) wanted something for me.
I've been really stressed lately about work stuff. We're building a business and there are alot of things that need doing that I don't know how to do. It also feels like things are moving at the speed of light. It's really easy to get in the weeds when you've got marketing and operations and finances and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah - all of the things.
In my Spirit, in the deep, quiet place of me, where there is no noise, God impressed on my mind to pay for the car behind me. I said "ok". It took me by surprise but I agreed because I knew it was His leading. When I was done at McDonald's and I pulled out of the drive thru, I was at complete peace. All of the work stress I had been feeling lately disappeared and in that moment, nothing mattered that I had been so worried about. I knew my life had a higher purpose and I knew that God was taking care of it all.
I am convinced that giving takes us straight into the heart of God and that's a place I want to be.
