God Incidence

Sweet answer to prayer

by Leave a Comment

I don’t believe anything is coincidence…I believe those thing we call coincidence are really “God-incidence”

Here’s a little one I would like to share…Last night after doing my relaxation tape, I decided to ask God in a special way for a dvd with a remote that I need to use for my “rebounding” ….my new exercise program. I wanted to bring it up to my office and not be in the livingroom…also when I jumped I was just in the middle of the ceiling fan!!!

So going to sleep I kept repeating, “I am joyously (I learned that in requesting you should keep the request in the present like it has already happened and use an “ly” word, and an”ing” word in the request and be specific and say when you want it to happen!!)…so again I said, “I am joyous”ly” thank”ing” God and the person who is giving me a free dvd with a remote immediately!!” I kept repeating it over and over until I went to sleep….but just before going to sleep my sister popped into my mind. I wanted to call in the middle of the night (which I have had to do for anxiety and mania…she is a pure angel!!) but I knew I could wait.

In the morning I asked her about her tv with a dvd and remote…I told her I had a tv with a dvd but no remote ( you need the remote in the exercise video to go down to play the workout otherwise you just get in to theinstruction section!!) Would she mind trading (mine is smaller) and she said, “sure I’ll trade” Viola” the answer to my prayer instantly! Thank you God!! It is small but it is a sweet answer to prayer!

Pilgrimage

Sent to me and seen at MulledVine

This weekend we went to IKEA.

If you’re a British husband, this 4 letter word can strike fear into your heart.

Why did we go? Because my youngest daughter needs a new bed and contrary to what you might think, only IKEA seems to have the right beds. In my opinion they have very nice beds at the local Furniture Village 2 miles away, but no, it has to be to IKEA.

Our “local” IKEA is 30 miles away, a part of a huge shopping complex that serves as a Retail Mecca for millions. It provides hours of “fun”: queuing on the roads, endless browsing, queuing for bite to eat, more browsing, queuing at the tills, and finally, with the day mostly over, the long drive home with thousands of fellow shoppers. And then to add insult to injury, there awaits the hours of frustration as I try to assemble my purchases from the very compact flat packs with obscure instructions that seem to be for completely different products!

So why do I regale you with my tale of woe? Because something unusual happened.

In preparation for our pilgrimage and the anticipated purchase of a fine, and dare I say it, unique IKEA bed, I had to put the roof bars on our car and look for our binding straps. I have a wonderful collection of such straps, accumulated over the years because I constantly misplace them and have to buy new ones. Yet, once again, the blessed straps were missing.

I searched “everywhere” in our garage, through heaps and heaps of chaos. Eventually I gave up in disgust, resigned myself to yet another strap purchase, and turned to exit the garage. As I turned, there was an almighty crash behind me as a basket tumbled from the top of one of our chaotic heaps to the ground. I turned around patiently, thanked God for giving me the opportunity to grow, bent to pick the basket up, only to find it full of my missing straps!

Now you would be within your rights to attribute this to blind chance, as improbable as it is, but I would like today to thank my God for the little things in life.

I think it was a God-incidence

Saw at experienceproject.com and I would have left a comment but unfortunately you have to register to be able to do so. Think I belong to enough things now, however thought I’d share the story here for others to enjoy. Perhaps the owner might drop by…

S ome might say it was just a coincidence, but I don’t think so. I was going through some personal hell awhile back. I was walking along in tears feeling no one could understand what I was feeling. Then, there it was…

A cd just laying on the ground. It was Tonic’s head on straight cd.

When I heard the song “Take me as I am” I cried. It was just how I was feeling. It was like an affirmation. Like God understood my pain.I’m out of the black I was in then, but I still can’t part with the cd.

Go God!

I saw this today and thought it good to share here!  Thanks for your story Tammie!  You can see Tammie’s blog and post here.

At church Miss Peggy shared a testimony that blessed our socks off! Miss Peg was laid off from her job a month or so ago and the thought of giving $50 bills for birthday gifts to two grandkids was weighing heavy on her heart. The birthdays were right around the corner and she was praying for a miracle to appear right around the corner (literally). As she went on her walk that day, her route weaved through the neighborhood right past the park. Her prayer that day, ‘when I walk by the park, Lord, let me find a hundred dollar bill’. No miracle on 13th Street that day! The next day she prayed again, ‘Lord, let me find a hundred dollar bill at the park’. Corners came and went and no miracle on 13th or Cisco Street that day, either.

Then the unimaginable became imaginable. While searching for a receipt in her purse, practically turning it inside out, she gasped. In a zipper pocket, rarely used, there it was…’A HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL’!!! It just so happened (God-incidence), that the remainder of her December 15th Christmas bonus was exactly one hundred dollars and hidden snuggly away for a rainy day!
APRIL SHOWERS!!!

Nothing is impossible with God!
