God Sightings Day 128: Affirmation from the Gutter
This morning, I pulled myself out of bed with a groan and headed out for my newly aquired routine: a walk and talk session with God.
I started down the hill and a piece of trash on the side of the road caught my eye.
“Look at it,” the Lord said.
“It’s a white, square scrap of paper in the dirt.” and I walked on.
“No, really LOOK at it.”
I kind of resisted at first. Didn’t want to walk back, and I NEVER pick up trash on the road. Germ city. Gross!
But I went back and picked it up.
It’s a photograph of a young girl. I had to wipe the mud off her face. She’s beautiful. Looks a lot like my friend Crystal might have in high school.
“Welcome to what we do.”
I was overwhelmed. I’ve known for a long time that He’s wanted me to work with a particular women’s ministry – Women Getting Real. This was just an amazing affirmation that I’m in the right place.
God loves His women. He picks us up, washes the smut and dirt off, and calls us beautiful. And I get to be a part of Him doing that in my world.
