Too Good

God has been too good to me. That is the honest truth right there! I mean, right now, in this moment, the Lord is absolutely blowing my mind.
Tonight I found out that my sister Rebekah and I are the answer to someone's prayer. It is such a humbling experience to know that the God of the universe actually looked down and found us as the vessels he desired to use.
Now, you may ask, what happened? Good question. I will tell you. A few weeks back, my grandmama met a lady from Bowling Green, Kentucky, at a church service in Nashville. She then proceeded to invite her new acquaintance to a Ladies Day that our church was hosting (keep in mind that I was at neither event). At the Ladies Day, through more introductions and a little conversation, my grandmama came to find that her new friend is a certain Tammy Hudson, and Tammy's husband is the pastor of First Apostolic Church here in Bowling Green. When Grandmama realized this, she told Tammy that my sister and I both attend WKU, which is literally five minutes away from the Hudson's church. Then, without having ever met me, and having just met my sister for the first time, Sis. Hudson asked if Rebekah and I would be willing to attend their church on Wednesday nights and work with their youth department.
Honestly, I was so honored by such an opportunity and I jumped right on board next to Rebekah, who was just as thrilled as I was. So, where does the answered prayer part come in? Well, right now. Tonight Rebekah and I attended the Hudson's church for the first time this semester. After calling on us to sing, the pastor told the church that when he moved here to pastor, he prayed that God would send to the church a way into Western Kentucky University. Just someone that would bridge the gap, provide a way for ministry. Well, I mean its pretty obvious, Rebekah and I are WKU students, and there we sat, about six pews back at First Apostolic Church, Bowling Green, Kentucky. God sent us there.
I am not writing any of this to brag on myself or on Rebekah or anything like that. Instead, I boast in the Lord that He knows exactly what He is doing. Why he sent me or Rebekah, I have no clue. It scares me to death. However I do know that if He is truly the one who sent us to the Hudson's then He will take care of everything. I cannot wait to see what God has in store for the church and for my ministry as well. Like I said in the beginning, God has just been too good to me... but I'm not complaining! :)
