So Many Blessings!

Have to dash out the door for literacy class, but want to write about yesterday before the blessings of today crowd yesterday's from my mind.

1) Was completely stressed about logistics of NY trip. Namely seeing people in Ithaca, Saratoga Springs, dropping off the car and making it to the airport in time. Sent a message to a friend. Turns out he is not only lending me a car for the trip, but also letting me drop it at the airport when I am done. He will pick it up at his leisure. God blessed me with a friend who has trucks that haul cars which saves me three hours of driving on the day of my return flight!

2) As I left the house with two sets of keys, something prompted me to look down. I realized I was carrying two sets of car keys but no house key. I was able to catch Fany and get her spare key just in time, so I wasn't locked out of my house.

3) God answered my prayers for a specific family in my club who I believe could be in danger. I was praying for an opening to talk to them. Yesterday the two sisters came to the club early, sat down next to me and chatted for 20 minutes. We are starting to build a foundation of trust so I can talk to them about deeper things in the future. PRAISE GOD!

4) One of those sisters volunteered to pray for my trip to NY! She never volunteers to do things, especially pray. She stood up, went to the front of the classroom without being asked, and said a beautiful prayer. I saw God at work there. What a blessing it is to be prayed for by my club. Especially when the prayer is led by someone at the top of my personal prayer list.

5) Transportation came early so I was able to make it to intercession at my church for the first time in weeks.

6) During our time of intercession, four people were blessed with the gift of speaking in tongues for the first time. I was one.

All of that was yesterday, but I would also like to add that Monday and Tuesday I had very little pain from the Chikungunya, which is also a blessing.

The number of intercessors at my church has almost doubled recently
