More than just coincidence


I have been encouraged.

See? Not all doom and gloom here. :D

I have recently been amazed, awed, encouraged at how God is moving. And boy is he. It's amazing what happens when you invite the spirit in. Ha!

It's almost like deja vu, lately. Except it's not.

In January, my group of "ladies", aka Women's Group, jokingly aka "Spirit Sisters", spent an evening just talking and praying and listening to where God wanted us to go, what we wanted out of the group, etc. The similarities were clearly there, common threads from one persons heart to the other. Fellowship, encouragement, sisterhood / family / relationship, and the desire to invite the Holy Spirit in to dwell and guide.

We had been missing direction for a little while, and we felt like we were getting on the right path. Ha! hahahaha. God is so funny.

For the past month, scriptures that are coming up in our study or in our lives are being repeated in the sermons at church, and vice versa. So I have sat in church, looked around for "my girls" and thought, "are you hearing this? This is crazy nuts awesome." I love it when God does that. It's so clear that he's working. It's so encouraging. It is lifting us all up. And tonight, we all started out our prayer time sharing a praise. Not because we said "share a praise," but because we had praises to sing.

I have also seen/heard of "topics" brought up in other's lives, in the church annual meeting, in prayer time, in random email forwards. Unconnected incidences.

The "coincidence" is uncanny.

But really, I know it's not coincidence at all.

He reigns!
