“GOD, OVERWHELM US WITH YOUR PRESENCE”
That was my prayer under my God tree today, and He certainly didn’t disappoint! To the point that He had me crying happy tears in my office, getting all emotional when I’m supposed to be the professional and calm boss lady (SMILE). This God wink began when I got to the God tree at 20 minutes past the hour, so I went to page 20 of our family’s website:
“But the reason why Kevin left me that voice note was because my angel/brother had arranged for me to spend some time by the pool of the Hard Rock Hotel with some out-of-town clients. So, I head over there and at the traffic light to turn onto GRIFFIN Road, a customer with the last name “GRIFFIN” flashes me, and her name appears on my phone. I looked at the vehicle directly in front of me, and it had a frame reading that it was purchased at I-75 at “GRIFFIN.” So, that’s three “GRIFFINS” all lined up perfectly together. I look next to me, and there is a truck with the number “21113” printed on it. “211” has been special to me and my daughter, Julie, because we take it as God leading her to attend a specific university in New York, after we visited back in January, and the number “2011” is engraved on one of the building’s stone. That evening, we got an email from this university offering Julie a scholarship of $29,000 per year for four years. To God be the glory!
When I spoke to the customer with the last name Griffin, can you believe she didn’t even know that she had called me? It was all God getting my attention with those three “GRIFFINS” lining up with the “211” on that truck to say that His Presence is strong with my family and me, and that was the university He wanted Julie to attend. I know this all sounds crazy, but it’s God’s voice that I’ve come to know.”
Fast forward a few hours later, my angel/dealer supply guy shows up to get paid for a recent order, and unbelievably, OF ALL THE AMOUNTS, his bill came to precisely $211. NOBODY CAN TELL ME THIS WAS SOME ORDINARY COINCIDENCE!!! It was again everything lining up too perfectly with God overwhelming me with His Presence. This 211 is a unique communication from God where He reminds me that He is taking me out of my comfort zone and teaching me how to have “walk on water” kind of faith in Him. He is putting a lot of pressure on your girl, but He makes me highly aware of His Presence with me and that He and I are carrying my burdens together. Amen.
I had to rush to my bank this afternoon, and while waiting, He had this to say to me (and now you!):
“I AM NEARER than you think, richly present in all your moments. You are connected to Me by Love bonds that nothing can sever. However, you may sometimes feel alone because your union with Me is invisible. Ask me to open your eyes so that you can find Me everywhere. The more aware you are of my Presence, the safer you feel. This is not some sort of escape from reality; it is turning in to the ultimate reality. I am far more Real than the world you can see, hear, and touch. Faith is the confirmation of things we do not see and the conviction of their reality, perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses.” – Jesus Calling Morning and Evening Devotional
