Hi Rachel I love your "nudges" piece. You are very good with expressing words. I am finding that God is nudging me to visit with people to just sit and listen. I never realized just how important this is for them. I always felt visiting was a waste of my time but I'm realizing God wants to use me in this way. So much so that people I have met seem to want to keep in contact with me. I've never had that before. A friend from 15yrs ago phones me out of the blue, another texts me because she's missed seeing me etc etc . I feel God is saying I want you to be a friend.
I so enjoyed your post today. You challenged me, and encouraged me at the same time. I tend to beat myself up when I miss what I call divine encounters, instead of letting it be instructive for the future. I ask the Lord to forgive me and ask Him not to give up on me, and help me to be more obedient when He calls me. The hold on me from the flesh, the world, and the evil one is stronger on me than it should be! The rewards of answering the call are so, so rewarding that I wonder why I struggle at all, and...yet, sadly, I do. I praise God that He is so gracious, and kind, and compassionate to me!

You know, God is so loving, all the time, that if we miss the nudge first time around, he would keep bringing them back around to enjoy.
Love this :-)
