I talked to my mom on the phone today. She prayed over me, and there was one statement that she prayed that stood out to me. She asked God that Audrey and I would see Him in unexpected places. I'm not totally sure why God made that stand out to me, but I have been thinking about it all day.
One unexpected place that God showed up was yesterday. I was just headed out the door to meet with fellow Pastor Mark Ramspurger for our weekly get together to talk about ministry, life, you name it. I look forward to this time every week. It is so good for me. Well, it was snowing and I realized that both of our dogs were missing. They had somehow gotten out of the house and were now who knows where in town.
I found Maya after about 25 minutes of driving around, but Mountie was nowhere to be found. This is highly unusual because when he has gotten out before he sticks pretty close around the house. I gave up looking for him after an hour and continued about my day until noon.
This time Audrey went out with me looking for him. I was getting pretty nervous and thought he got hit or something. We drove around for thirty minutes, until finally Audrey prayed that we would find him, and I pulled up to an intersection and said, "When I found Maya, I just stopped and looked around for a little while." I put the truck in park and we sat there for maybe 30 seconds when all of a sudden Audrey yells, "There he is!"
He was barely sticking his head out from behind a house that was situated on a hill. There would have been no way that we would have found him unless we stopped.
Anyway, I believe that God showed up there; unexpectedly. I am echoing my mom's prayer today.
