Calling It

Have you seen the new commercial for "Carpoolers". The one where all four guys are sitting in the car looking ahead and doing their own quirky little habits on their way to work , meanwhile listening to Phil Collins' "In the Air Tonight". Right when the drums kick in they all start air drumming. I called it before they started air drumming. But that was predictable. What I'm going to talk about isn't predictable.

I'm not clairvoyant(there's a word I haven't heard in a while) nor do I believe I'm psychic. I believe the Holy Spirit has been giving me little hints of things to come.

For example, the women residents wanted to give me a "Who is He" where they tell me all of the positive things they like about me. I thought about it earlier and heard a voice in my head say, you are going to get a "Who is He" today. I scoffed at it and passed it off as wishful thinking. But later, there it was written up on the white board for all staff to see. A Mr. Clay-Who is He.

I have been sneezing my head off for the past two weeks due to a head cold and allergies. I went to my father-in law's house and as we were talking that same voice said, "don't worry, he is going to give you some medicine." A few minutes later, he gave me allergy medication.

As most of you know, I'm a big fan of Rush. They are in concert tonight and I have been pretty quiet about not being able to go. Lawn seats are $31.00 and we haven't had enough money to buy food and gas. So, I was hoping for a miracle. I had pretty much told myself I was wasn't going to the show even though I was heartbroken. My friend I play music with called me and left a message asking if I was going to the show. Before I called him back I heard that voice again say he may give you a ticket. Once again, I scoffed. When I called him, I told him I couldn't because of my money situation. He said he wanted to give me a ticket. His wife didn't really want to go and he would be very happy if I took the ticket. I was really blessed.

These situations let me know God is still there. I am not great at hearing His voice. That is something I have struggled with deeply. I just have been hearing it and it has come to pass. We have been blessed richly through Him in the last few days. God has really come through even when we don't ask.
