He's always right on time

You know how people say,"He may not be there when you want Him, but He's always right on time?  Well, I've truly found that to be the case as I walk my path with God.  One particular Sunday, I was going to church, but I was really early for the service.  I was also really late for the one before.  I was waiting for my daughter and we got our wires crossed, so I just felt as though I should go ahead to church.  I was almost an hour early, so I knew that the other service was in full swing and about to begin it's wind down.  I sat in the car and decided to listen to a little Joel while I waited.  About 30 minutes later Joel was finished and I was bored, so I got out and began to walk toward the church.  As I was walking down the driveway towards the sidewalk I see another woman who is also walking in what seemed like the direction of the church.  She stopped and smiled, so I smiled back and started a conversation with her.  As we talked, we realized that we were both going to the same church.  She suddenly began to tell me a story about a relationship she had.  I heard the Lord say deep down in my spirit that she should not give up on him.  She hadn't said much, and so when she started to cry tears of joy and tell me how relieved she was, I realized that God had been at work.  She said that she never came to the late service.  I always did, but I had never been so early.  I hadn't seen her drive up, but God had us get out of our cars at the same time for a reason.  Her fiancé' was a man who was doing his best at following God.  They love each other.  What a blessing.  She said that the thing that made her stop and talk to me was my dress.  It was pink and white and she loved the color.  Turn the page back a bit...that morning I was going to put on orange.  I love that color and I had already laid out my outfit, but for some reason, I kept being drawn to that pink and white dress.  I had bought it a month ago and hadn't worn it.  I wasn't really sure why I bought it, but I had.  I just kept having a feeling that I should wear that dress on that Sunday, so I did.

God is truly amazing!  He had me buy a dress and then wear it on this particular Sunday a while after I had purchased it, (I had never even taken it out of the hang-up bag) just so this young lady would notice it and begin to talk to me.  He loves that young couple so much that He had set things in motion way in advance.  I didn't know them at all, I just heard the voice of the Lord way deep inside me tell me what to do.  God is good.  All the time.  And all the time, He has us on His mind.
