First thought instead of last

I had taken Alexandria to a book release party on Friday. I took a good book with me and found a nice quiet corner to sit by myself. About 30 minutes later, a lady came and asked if she could sit with me. I immediately said "sure"! My first thought was ... "God is this a divine appointment? And please give me the words that she needs to hear". We talked off and on for several hours. I had a lot of trouble moving the conversation to spiritual topics. I was really disappointed that I wasn't able to do that. After getting home and sharing with Shawn, I decided that the encounter was probably more for me than her. My focus was immediately on Christ. Usually for me, it is the 2nd, 3rd, 4th and sometimes not at all. I was encouraged by Michael to post this. It takes a conscience effort to make it our FIRST THOUGHT!

Holly, this is a great story. Thanks for sharing it. It represents two of the most fundamental struggles we all face. (1) Awareness of divine appointments, and (2) moving the conversation into a spiritual direction. Keep preparing, praying, and practicing. It gets easier, I promise.
