In the past couple of blogs, I have been talking about the crazy things God has me doing. I really believe God is working and moving in my life. Let me start by saying something about myself that some of you may or may not know. I am not a "social butterfly." I rarely talk to people I don't know. Actually, if I don't know you and we meet for the first time, you may just get a smile and a 'hi.' I fall into the speak only when spoken too catagory when it comes to meeting new people. Ironically enough, I am a waitress and a bartender. (just for chuckles, as I meant to write bartender, I actually typed butterfly so it would have read 'I am a waitress and a butterfly' hahahahaha) My job is to talk to people I don't know. I also, don't like to speak in public or go in front of people, or discuss certain topics. I get quite ashamed, I guess is the term, to lay it all out.
Well, this is how crazy God is. God has been pushing me and really shoving me to do what He says. And He knows how to let me know He is saying it. If He wants me to say something, He really will not back down on it. This past week, God wanted me to write a letter to a friend. Not call her, not text her but write a short note to her. WIERD...Hasn't the real mail died? Does God not know that people don't write letters anymore? Well, I am so glad that I did that, because I truly LOVE this friend of mine. This friend really deserved to have a handwritten letter, and I am so happy to send one to my friend.
God put on another friends heart to call me, and ask me to call someone I didn't know. Ummm, excuse me God, do you not know that I don't talk to people I don't know, let alone call them? Well, I knew this was from God because she said "God put you in my head to call her." So of course, now whenever I hang out, I am gonna call her. No not text her, CALL HER. Because God wants me to CALL her.
God put this blog on my heart. God told me to write my stories out there. Even if Im ashamed of it, just blog it. To be perfectly honest, these last couple of things that I have mentioned, I do not know the outcome of all of them. I don't know what God's plan in all of this is, but I am LOVING THE FACT THAT GOD IS PULLING THINGS OUT OF ME THAT I DON'T DO. He is literally molding me into a person I never thought I would be. He is making me be a better person. I love that He tells me to say things and do things. It's like a little direction from Him. And even though I may not want to do it right away, all of the things He is having me do are only making me be a better Heather. I hope and I pray that all of you readers do what God asks you to do. Even if it's out of your character. Even if your not fully comfortable with saying something wierd to that stranger that God tells you to talk to. Remember, all things good come from God. He's not gonna steer you in the wrong direction. I promise.
