January 29 - Looking for a miracle

It took all day, but I knew that He would leave a penny for me somewhere.  I had the opportunity to meet an individual that The Lord put into my life.  I invited a few guys to join me to meet an inspiring young man who was diagnosed with Stage IV Cancer.  It was a chance meeting a few nights earlier at Elevation Church, a simple follow up phone call to discuss his prayer request, and coffee a few days later. 

We heard the story of a young evangelist speaker who is dealing with a life changing diagnosis.  We heard the story of a young Christian man who is at peace with where he is in his Christian walk, and he knows that he is "looking for a miracle".  His hair still intact after 3 rounds of chemo and his Spirit strong.  Then, right as we were praying a healing prayer over him....he began praying for us!!  Prayed for our families, who he had never met; prayed for our lives and careers, that he didn't know much about. 
A true birthday gift to sit with an inspirational person and discuss God's love for us. 

I had been thinking about this meeting all morning and on my way home, I had to stop at Lowe's and pick up a few things.  Just as I was getting out of my truck, I thought, "Lord, I haven't seen a penny today and was looking for a reminder that you were in my life today."  Three steps towards the store...there it was!!

 

 "Lord, thank you for the opportunity to meet an inspirational Christian man walking a life that has been blessed and is being challenged. Challenged with a disease, and challenged to continually show others the power of prayer.   Lord, thank you for my family and for this birthday.  I am honored that you put your Trust in me and put me in places to constantly see your love and Trust you."
