It’s time

Today I had the privilege of helping a family member who is going through an incredibly difficult time. During my time of prayer for her and the situation she is facing, and asking the Lord, ” how can I help?” And ” what can I do?” The Lord placed it on my heart to BE THERE for her, but not in the usual kind of way, I felt Him say to me to PHYSICALLY be there for her. And so today I was there for her, giving up my time during the morning to be obedient to the promptings of the Holy Spirit.

I then went off to my daughters school to help out with a special project they have asked me to assist them with. Whilst I was busy cutting and copying, a staff member thanked me for what I was doing and I responded with “I love doing this type of thing and now that I have the time to do it, I’m so happy to help!”

Sitting with some of the other moms at pick up after school today, one of the moms says to me ” so I’ve got a present for you” she hands me a small gift bag with a GORGEOUS watch inside. We had previously (in June) spoken about her lovely watches and she had even informed me of where she got them from, and so out of the kindness of her heart ( and I believe prompting from  God) she purchased one for me and surprised me with it today. I was so excited and I put it on straight away and as I did I felt God whisper to me “it’s time”

So as I was consciously aware of TIME today, I am also reminded of the fact that God knows everything, that there is a time for everything and that God is in the details of everything.

So time for me now stands for:

Taking

Initiative   to

Motivate   and

Encourage

What do you spend your time doing? What is God saying to you? Have you taken the time to listen and respond? How can you Take Initiative to Motivate and Encourage somebody today?
