AWAKENING HIS LOVE AND LIGHT IN JACKSONVILLE,FL


    Words from our beloved Maya Angelou


Psalm 119:129-131 “Your teachings are wonderful, and I respect them all.  Understanding Your Word brings “light” to the minds of ordinary people.  I honestly want to know everything You teach.”



My heart must be beating faster than it has ever before from the wonderful “God Filled” moments of today!  It can only be His omniscient involvement, nothing else would make sense.  The “brilliancy” of His Amazing Love and Light of “perfect timing” was experienced right in front of me!  It was not a “chance”; it was pure gifting!

Reasons for everything…His reasons for everything!  For a project I started, I needed assistance from the Office Max, that I just happened upon, after leaving another business.  I did not know it was even there, but when I saw it…I was led to enter.

A young man named Jamie started to help me, but his face was filled with grief and a torment.  Immediately, a prayer was said from my heart for this visit.  He needed Jesus… 

The project I am working on, involves a verse from James 1:17.  Get it??  James….Jamie…immediately I knew he needed this “gift” God had given me with this verse. “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from ‘Above’; and comes down from the Father of Lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.”  (this one was handwritten on the envelope, but I really needed it printed)

Jamie held it with a softer touch and a bit of a grin.  He asked what it really meant.  I shared the Love of God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit with him.  He kind of shook his head, but I have seen this many times before when sharing the truth.  No dismay, the Spirit does His work.

He shared about how difficult his life had become.  The death of a cousin so young had brought him to deep grief.  He did not really like his job that much, so I asked him what his desire was to be doing.  He said to be a cartoonist.  I actually happen to know one at my HBOT treatments.  So much was shared…such deep God guided thoughts and answers; His Words, not mine.  He gave me a card to use for contact with my friend.
It was to be a bit of a wait to complete my project, so I told him I would be back in a little while for the needed labels.  (oh, yes, did I tell you he had to enter this verse about 4-6 times, to get it the way I needed it?)  That was meant to be!

Upon my return, there was a gentleman about my age waiting to be helped.  Jamie was serving another customer, so we had time to talk.  His name is Robert.  He is a lawyer from Indiana, but living here in Florida now.  We shared our “Mid-America” experiences since I am from Illinois.  We also spoke of some medical concerns, namely auto immune diseases.  I did not specifically ask him what type he had, but knew he needed some help.  I happen to have two considered auto immune diseases, so, that fit!  We spoke of some diets and exercise programs, and he asked if I would share more information via e-mail.

Jamie was now available.  Robert was very patient and watched Jamie doing his “magical” work for my project.  And he overheard our continuation of God’s Love and Light.  Towards the end of helping with me, I again brought up his desires of an occupation.  His “gift” I could already envision from my own needed project.  Then Robert heard Jamie say he was also involved with “graphic designs”.  This started a whole new “open door” because Robert has a great connection through his own position. 

There is to be continued communication now between, Jamie, Robert, and myself.  Robert has requested this young man’s resume and spoke about a position that would more than quintuple his current pay rate.  I could tell you, a flash of something came through, because Jamie’s eyes lit up with a huge smile now filled with joy!  He said it would be wonderful to able to afford to buy fresh vegetables.  Fresh vegetables?  Yes, imagine that one.  He helps his family and friends with rent and other expenses, and now God willing, he will be able to eat healthier.  The largest part of this is, he asked me my name again, and wants to talk some more about Jesus.  And we pray!
