| 20 years ago the Lord prepared an answer for a prayer we prayed last night! |

I have books all over my house. I pick them up at yard sales, have book club memberships, get them at thrift stores, freecycle and from friends. I have them in bookcases and piles everywhere. Last week I found a book called Just Breath and Britches ; Thoughts about the Christian Journey by W. Emmett M. Diggs. It is sort of thin and sorta funny looking and old looking. Must be a thrift store or yard sale book because it has that old look to it. I set it on top of the bookcase as I wanted to poke through it but was busy at the moment.
I started to put it back a day or so later but felt nudged to read it ...soon...and so left it out as a reminder. Then I took it to work and it sat there a few days and then I started it Friday and was reading on it today. I noticed that it referenced a park half hour from my house! What! I flipped the book over and the author was a pastor from a church in Norfolk Virginia. St. John's United Methodist Church in Norfolk, just 6.9 miles from where I work!
Aaron and Georgios are in Lake Taylor Hospital just 1.9 miles from where I work so that means they are five miles from them. I had our whole church praying last night for a church to really follow up and be there for these young men.
I called the church and no, the author is not the pastor any longer. The current pastor thought he moved to Roanoke and maybe even died, not sure. I asked if he knew where Lake Taylor Hospital was. Yes, they have a ministry team that visits there! PTL!!!!!!!!! I gave him their names and history and they will visit without a doubt.
This book was copyrighted 20 years ago in 1989. The author may already be with Jesus but the Holy Spirit nudged me to pull it out now and read it and gives me the time at work to read it and make the call and the brothers are already going to the place I have been begging others to go to.
Our Lord is so awesome and He is not bound by time. Love you guys! |
