God is so smart and funny at the same time. I did go to the Closer event for women after reading the book, I was hooked. There were some very special times, getting to know new faces and learning about others I knew. Susan Hill was a excellent speaker, sharing her struggles, victories and her relationship with the Lord. I had decided to come late on Saturday, I was brushing my teeth at about 9am and the phone rang. It was Lorna asking if I would give a testimony about something I had heard Friday night. Now I couldn't be late and as the morning progressed I prayed for the right words and the words that God wanted to be heard and keep my hands from shaking. I shared about my father and how that relationship put a barrier with the Father in heaven. God reaches out to me often, speaks to me thru thoughts. This time He used someone else to send a message. As the author's husband would have said: "Is that odd or is it God?" The lesson I've been learning this past year is to be bold. When prompted to take action, to take the challenge, and then trust God.
