God Places You Right Where He Wants You

So you remember yesterday when I said that I was going to let Jesus handle everything the devil threw at me? Well sometimes we just think it is the devils doings, but it ain't.

Yesterday I was at Office Depot getting some supplies (Duh) and I had a tight schedule with a fast approaching lunch appointment. Well as I was cleaning out the front seat for the customer I locked the keys in the car. I don't have a spare......and yes I felt stupid. Long story short I had to call a lock smith.

Have you ever had a moment when you looked back afterwards you were floored at the events that unfolded before your eyes? Quick story within a story. All of his life I called my dad's dad Papa Locke, and that is what Sid and Lillie call my dad. Well the name of the locksmith was Pop-A-Lock. And honestly it didn't hit me until last night when I was telling Lori. She had gotten it right off the bat, but it wasn't until I said it real fast that I got it.

Well, I had to call the customer and tell him I would be late. I was feeling real stupid. It took the guy around 40 minutes to get there and when he did we started talking and I just happen to have an old Upward coaches shirt on. After some small talk, he asked me if I worked for Upward. I told him no, that I coached in an Upward league. And then we started a pretty long conversation on church and Jesus.

He said he had been out of church for a while, but wanted to get back involved. I have a ton of customers who go to church in Greenville and I was able to tell him of at least 10 different churches in G'ville that range from old school traditional to a very contemporary service. We talked about everything and I gave him a business card and told him to call me with any questions he may have. I also offered up some names of some of my plumbing customers that would love to have him at their church. I did invite him to our church, but he wanted somewhere in Greenville.

God put me right where He wanted me yesterday and He used me. We have to always be ready for whatever God ask of us. And constantly be on the lookout for such opportunities, and He will use you. What an awesome feeling!!

Have a Blessed Day!!!
