Chasing with a Reckless Abandon

Today Nikki and I spent the morning together in Old Town then she headed off to her conference and I went to the park across the street from our hotel in down town.  There I found a great environment to read, pray, and wait on the Lord to send someone if He so desired.  There were a number of homeless guys on different benches and I am more than comfortable going and engaging them in conversation, but I have felt like God is going to bring the right people to me here in Albuquerque.  After about 1.5 hours of reading Galatians and coming across verse after verse that will just rock your world (like 2:10, 5:1, & 5:6 to mention a few) . . . Tom approached me (that’s God) it’s really Tom – God just sent him.  Tom came over and asked, “can you watch my stuff while I go to the hotel and use the bathroom?”  I said sure and even moved from the bench I was on to the bench he was on (that was strategic) . . . He came back and I stayed put!  We talked for about and hour and then I was able to take him to subway and get him some dinner before he needed to head off and meet up with some other people.  We were able to have a good talk and I was able to share a little with him about God’s Love for him and the fact that God does have a plan for him (Jer. 29:11).
