And it Came to Pass

Good Morning Everyone,

Today is not a typical message but valuable none the less.

Over the weekend I reconnected with two women at an event I each had not seen in exactly five years. In Biblical numerology, the number five stands for God's grace. I knew the women individually but was not aware that they knew each other. I first met each woman at a church just not the same one. The first woman, whom I will call, D,  I knew through the church where I was baptized but we had also worked together in Baltimore. The second woman whom I will call, V, I knew through the church where God developed the gift of teaching He placed in me. I used to interact with V's son. In each of their testimonies, God's grace was evident. V expressed wanting to write a book with her son chronicling his journey as one in need of a kidney transplant. And D and I had lunch five  years ago just before I became ill. D recalled our last conversation the moment I said I am now an author. In our last conversation five years ago, I expressed my desire to get back into writing. And it came to pass. And when V and I spoke, I immediately said to her, when you are ready, let me know and I will help. Each woman had experienced miracles over the last five years. And both D and V received tickets last minute. D said, "Our blessing is at this event. I can't tell you what it is, I just know we have to go."

When God allows you to accomplish something, never take the mindset that it is all about you. You are to help encourage others to move forward. It may not be the same purpose you have but whatever it is, encourage that they move forward the way God has designed for them.
