God Sighting

I was reading today what a God Sighting is and how they help us.

It is a part of an idea of taking time to see God and how He is working. But it is also more than that. It is a time to share those things as a family. Most of the time God Sightings point us to remembering who God is and what He is doing (and always has done for that matter!!!).

Today’s God Sighting happened when I went to McDonald’s to sell an old phone I had to a nice lady from Craigslist.

It was a wonderful time because her husband came and we talked about the phone and conducted our business. As we talked we learned about each other a bit and it was great because God showed himself again.

We found out we were Christians and they shared some about their life and I shared some about my story and what was going on with us:

1. How we were waiting on God to show us the next step of our faith walk.
2. How we were doing what HE asked us to do - prepare.
3. How there might be an opportunity for us this week and how we were excited to see if this is what God has in store for us.

As I shared my story, we spoke about it a bit and then they asked to pray for us. Really. Total strangers met through Craigslist. God, you are amazing. The prayer was said like someone who had known me for years. God was moving in that time, right then. He was present. He knew exactly what we needed.

Even more, God didn’t have to supply that God Sighting. He just gave it as a bonus. God did what HE expects us to do. Give our best. Go the extra mile.

Time and time again, God has gone the extra mile during this faith walk with us.

What an awesome God we serve!
