O.K.Lord What Are You Up To?

Last night was a night I put aside for watching the Minnesota Wild hockey team play an elimination game. failure to win and they would be out of the play offs. I think if there is anything in life that gives me pleasure besides my Lord and my children it is sports. Some would call me a fanatic.

Once when I was out with my ex-wife picking up furniture we had to take two cars to transport it home. It was the end of the season and my college team was playing for a end of the year bowl
selection. I went to listen to it on the way home and the radio would not work. So I called my wife and had her turn o the radio in the car and then hold the phone next to the radio so I could listen to it. Creative thinking 101 is what you might call that.

Last night I was ready to watch the game at home on the big screen and once again I had technical difficulties. They seem to follow me around. So I decided the Lord anted me to go out and meet somebody. At first I was going to run some errands and be content with just listening to it on the radio but my radio didn't work. What are the chances of that? My radio always works. So I said "Lord, what are you up to? Show me Lord where you want me to go." I now was convinced that God has something prearranged. Somebody he wanted me to meet. I decided to go to a local sport bar and catch some of the game and see if there was someone in there he wanted me to talk to.

I walked in and looked around. " Who Lord, who.?" I usually sit at a table tp spread things out to read and write. But this time I went to the bar. The bartender was who God intended me to meet.She had walls up but slowly I could see them coming down. I spent my time on the phone talking to a friend and sharing what God is doing in my life. The interesting thing about this sports bar is the volume was down and i made sure I talked a little extra loud. Did God arrange that so she could hear me? Did God arrange that so she could hear me talk about Christ?

I spent a good hour there. Seeds were planted and she was open. By the way, when I got back in the car my radio worked just fine. We serve an amazing God.

To think that I can live as Christ
and point others to the cross.
Surrendering everything of self.
Counting it but loss.

With the Spirit right within me
to do the work of Christ
I can walk with expectation
and live a glorious life.

Let me be filled Lord with Your Spirit,
over flowing with Your love.
A complete infatuation
flowing down from above.

A craving every moment
with only pure intent.
Requesting from the Father
that they be heaven sent.
