God surprised me with a gift!

On 2/5/11, I found a note in a Bible at the same church that the youth ministry (IOB) uses. The note expressed how I felt and was a communication from God telling me that he saw where I was. I thought about keeping it, but decided to return the note for someone else to read. Never did I imagine that I'd see someone read the note! Last night during IOB, a teen with whom I spend time with read the note. I saw her read it, and then saw that it clearly touched her heart as it had mine. I couldn't stop smiling. Finally, I hugged her and told her I had read the same note and it spoke to my heart. She also expressed a desire to keep the note but decided to leave it in the Bible for the next person. Perhaps she will be blessed to see at the next person read it. God is good; He has an incredibly practical plan to provide for us, but He also provides in such personal, relational ways for us. Praise, God for such a gift last night! I enjoy surprises and love it when God brings one that is completely unexpected.
