When God Orders Your Footsteps

I'm just saying, sometimes we make it so difficult, but you know God is so in control and working in the details of people's lives. That He's just waiting for us to connect with how He's working and He is the one that sets us up. And how incredible is that? That my footsteps are ordered by Him to connect with His plan and purpose for another person's life.

Well Jennifer, it's always good to be with you, fun to be with you, everyone ever word together. I mean it's like sharing the story back or you're not a newbie. I mean you've been sharing your faith for a long time. I was just thinking about this story just today and there's so many stories to share. But just recently I had an opportunity to go to the hospital and that's where it and I got to pray with pretty rough, rough older man, not too much older than my own father. But he was a retired policeman and I worked for, I worked for the state at this time and he was a security, he was security for this place that I worked. And I would just say hey and got to know him just a little bit and just always thinking him for keeping us safe and like opening those doors and he was like you know and I was just like you know you're a lot kinder than what you come off to be. You know I just spoke that in them and and he always went beyond his the call of duty. I mean he would just and I noticed that and I just had this connection realizing that just through conversation and sharing the love of Christ and then he found out that you know I'm a Christian so try not to say you know all the words that you know they felt like and I was just like you just be you. But anyway we had this interesting relationship about all the places we traveled in the world and so he would show me and I would show him a places and he can't believe the places that I go to and he goes if you were my daughter I don't know how I could ever send you to those places. And so those gave some really great opportunities and him and his wife and we just got to know each other well he had this really odd sickness and unfortunately the hospital did not do the procedure that they that they had planned to do it went off and wrong and and he came he felt he fell very ill and this was not very long ago they you know they did not have anyone else to call to come pray so they called me. And so I was the Christian in his life I was that person I just dropped everything and I went there and because we had all those sweet conversations those holy listening conversations those your valued conversations that I got to pray with him and soon after that he he passed. I'm just saying sometimes we make it so difficult but you know God is so in control and working in the details of people's lives that he's just waiting for us to connect with how he's working. And he is the one that sets us up and how incredible is that that my footsteps are ordered by him to connect with his plan and purpose for another person's life that their footsteps become aligned with where he has them to go. It's just how do you live for anything else this is what I live for and it's so simple and simple and so we make it so hard we're afraid of what I think Gary I genuinely like left Gary I was like he is so incredibly smart and there's a lot of different things about him but you know I begin to see the image of God in him even before he accepted Jesus. I was just like man God you really created him for something you created him in your image of something I can know about you by getting to know him and if we want to how do we know God without knowing each other and we are not meant to live isolated it doesn't matter what type of personality type we are we are introvert extrovert we're not meant to be isolated we are meant to connect with others to learn of God and for God's love to flow through us and and as that happens his love just grows in me yeah you said it yeah that's it that's it no higher calling it with time running out I know we talked for the South camera but the time is precious absolutely the clock is ticking it's not always comfortable to think about it. I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I know I Now we are created to be a second andond seem as a child with love.
