In the aftermath of my re-tooling of my life to align with the Holy Spirit (Note the previous series on "Life Change") , I am finding some interesting outcomes. Sunday, I went to church to observe the cafe. That will be a project that I was asked by one of the directors of the Outreach department and I hope will help the church. The tips go to help outreach both local and global. Various teams help in the cafe. I met some folks and observed the cafe operate. I am gathering information to help the cafe improve operations.
Then I went to "Outreach Sunday School". I actually answered the question of the week from the previous week's speaker. The five fold approach to prayer-Open doors, open hearts, open minds, open heavens. I needed help with the fifth one and someone held up hands and I was able to say - Open hands.
I went to service and afterwards the Holy Spirit spoke to me to stay and wait for someone to come up to me. Now that would be strange in such a large church, because people file out right after service. I connect with many people; but I almost always take the initiative. Not bad for an extreme introvert...God can change us. So I am sitting in the middle of a section, the only person. In my own mind, I thought, "Well, I can pray and wait for the parking lot to clear out." A guy comes up and I recognized him from our first sectional potluck. We chatted and went over to meet his wife. She was talking to a lady from Latvia. I talked with her in Russian. So I told her when my wife comes back from Russia. God had a plan and only by faith can we find out the outcomes.
