God’s watch
September 23, 2008
I must say I was excited about my “easy” ticket of paying for someone in the drive-thru this week. Little did I know how difficult it was going to be.
I knew with the blackout this week it would be a challenge awaiting a drive-thru to open up, but finally Starbucks (God bless them!) opened up. I made sure to get up in time to go to the local Starbucks because it usually has a pretty long line in the morning. I prayed that God would bring the right person along who needed to hear from Him. I was really excited to get going for the day and to hopefully start someone elses day out in a nice way.
The problem was that there were no cars at all in line, not in front or back of me…I was it!! I couldn’t ask for that to happen in a million years 
I stalled for a long time waiting for another car to pull up behind me, but when the cashier is pushing the drink into your hands and basically saying goodbye (after a period of conversation)…I finally left unable to do the outreach I wanted to do. I couldn’t believe it and was disappointed.
However, I figured out during this week that the person God wanted to work through was a teenager and his mother who went through Wendy’s behind me later in the week. I had my window down and after getting the cashier to get over the shock of paying for people I didn’t know, and staring at the card for what seemed an eternity I saw the shock of 2 people who just sat there taking in what just happened.
I learned…God’s blessings happens in His time…not always our time:)
