Thankful Thursday...
I just can't believe who God brings to my dental chair. I have this man (my dad's age) who comes in every 3 months to get his teeth cleaned. He flirts a lot with me and I just laugh when he says off the wall things to me. He told me that he drives 40 minutes just to see me. He always says, "If you weren't married..." He talked about going down to Florida after his appointment to 80-85 degree weather to play golf and wine and dine. (We are supposed to get 10 inches of snow tonight.) He always asks me the questions so that he can "open" and I can "talk" while cleaning his teeth. Todays question was quite challenging, well not really. The question wasn't different, but my response was VERY different.
"Angie, if could change anything about your life, what would you change? Do you have any regrets?" I should tell you that I am pretty sure he is not a Christian. Okay, I took a deep breath... It only took me about 5 seconds to respond. I said, "Well, I would have sought God before I made any decisions." IT'S SO TRUE! I AM SEEKING HIM NOW! You guys, you don't know me, but this was not something I would have said not too long ago. I meant it from the bottom of my heart. My heart beat fast and honestly, I got nervous before I said it but felt such a sense of peace after I did. You know what? I have NO idea how he responded to my answer! Can you believe it?
Anyway... I am thankful that God is making me more bold and unafraid of telling people about Him and how much He means to me and how He is it! All I want to do in my life anymore is Glorify my God! This man doesn't tempt me in the least, but all I know is that my God is irresistible!
Oh, and I'm thankful for one more thing tonight... Boots!
Nice warm, cozy ones!
Keep warm!
Love,
Angie xoxo

Hmmm. Boots. We could help you with that, you know. I am thankful for you and for your being real. I don't believe in do-overs. For whatever reason, they are what they are (our decisions, our lives) but I am so proud of you for telling Him God is the Source of every answer. Sounds like he was questioning and you were there. Good girl. I've heard "kicker" boots are warm. Never put them to the test myself, really. Stay warm, sweet Angie. love, annie
That is the best story and put such a smile on my face. I just know God is in Heaven so proud of you for answering that way.
God has definitely empowered you to be Bold for Him!
