I just love how Patty started the God Stop Fridays. I look forward to reading about God and what He is doing in the lives of my friends!
I had a major God Stop this week and all I can say is I am glad I am typing this and not trying to tell you this face to face because I would be a total mess. You wouldn't be able to understand my words through the tears. I am not kidding.
I saw Jesus this week through my dear friend Annette (and her husband Mike). I wish I had the gift of words to describe my time with her. This experience was like none other in my life. Our time together was a gift from God. There is absolutely no other way to explain it than Him. He orchestrated it from the beginning. It was her birthday when I arrived and she treated me like it was mine. It turned out it was her husband's birthday as well. I couldn't believe she invited me when it was probably the worst week for them. Her girlfriends took us out for dinner. They treated me like I had known them for my whole life. It was the strangest, most beautiful thing ever. We had such a special time when I went with her to Bible study. We worshiped God together and He spoke to me through Beth Moore again. It was another gift! I had hoped I could meet Beth in person, but it didn't work out. In the end it didn't matter. Beth is a vessel that God chose to get His Word to me. I'm grateful for her obedience!
I don't know why Annette chose to love on me. I'm just an ordinary girl from Michigan. I will never forget this precious week of my life. The love and generosity that was shown to me had to come from a God who loves me and is deep within this new friend of mine. I will cherish the memories of this week forever!
God stopped me in my tracks and gave me a taste of HEAVEN!
I pray you feel just as loved today!

It is so apparent that God is in the details of our lives, Angie. It is so like Him to take the most unlikely thing to happen and make it so we know it was Him! Sometimes, that is EXACTLY how I know it is God because it is in the weird things you probably never would do. You were a birthday gift to me. Thank you for listening to that still Voice and taking a chance. Mike and I were blessed beyond words. love you, Annette
This is just so sweet and if I may say so, cool!! I love how God brought you two together and on top of that for your birthday and you got to visit Beth's church. I have been there for a study and it was awesome and powerful to say the least. I am so happy for the two of you and I hope to get a chance to meet you all in the near future. I think we are all going to San Antonio, right? Thank you for sharing your wonderful GodStop this week!
Love,
Patty
Angie!

Those kind of people are really special. They set good examples for all of us. Glad that you had such a wonderful week.
I am happy for this special time you were able to experience! How much more do we miss because we don't let God orchestrate our lives? Sounds as if He blessed you--real good!
