Story submitted by: Tekelia C. Kelly I read a passage sent to me by a dear sister entitled TGIF: God's Recruitment Strategy for Leaders. TGIF stands for "Today God Is First". I wrote back in an email the following. (Click here to read TGIF passage.) Wow! This passage truly “hits the nail on the head” with what we were talking about this morning, doesn’t it? This encourages my heart and “refuels” my strength. It is so like our God to intercede and make “on-time” contact with us via messages like below. When God-cidents like this happen I am reminded of his Word that says, “He’s intimately acquainted with all my ways” (Ps. 139:1-16), and that “He will guide me with His eye upon me. (Ps. 32:.8). As I have heard it also described once by someone, God has just “winked” at us! This passage is like an affirmation--as though He heard and felt everything we shared this morning--and He did! I had been praying about my "feeling" so distraught about situations, yet knowing I must persevere because I had been in this kind of place many times before; ONLY to see ‘God’s Hand’ and His Faithfulness time and time again. But as I said on the phone, it seems the trials are getting harder and longer to stay in. And that’s because the roots are going down deeper --in Him-- each time. Thank you so much for sharing, Dear Sister! Tekelia
