My mother was so good at doing her best to support me while trying in her best way not to discourage me,..(secretly I knew this the hole time and love her even more for not saying what we both know she was thinking deep down),..<br /> My mother was a hard praying god fearing prayer worrier of the first degree.. and she could pray the devil out of any situation, on the drop of a dime she could bring down church no matter where we could be.. and you could just feel the spirit move non believer as well as believer..but i digress.<br /> Before we left she walked to the car and prayed over it and blessed the trip.. and mentioned that Ghe would be praying over me on every inch of the trip(of corse she was)...<br /> Now I keep god in my heart too and always... just not in the same fashion of my mother... so its all good to me..<br /> On the trip I explained to my friend that we were being keept in prayer so we were going to be fine and not to worry.. It was kind of fun explaining this to my friend and the experience of it brought me back to a good place.<br /> The trip was "interesting" to say the very least.. and we got to a very dark place and I called on God to send us an angel..and open a way forward,.. and of corse we were appoached by one in the guise of a group of very tall african aamerican young men crossing the street. We were at a stop light that seemed to be talikg a bit too long.. and there was absolutly no one else around.. but I rolled down the window anyway and asked the kids for directions,.. I explained that we were really lost and needing to find our way before it got too dark and not being from here ect blah.. we were given directions to a gas station that was about to close not far from where we were,, and to hurry and get there and we could figure it out from there .. kool I thought.. and thanked them.<br /> I cant begin to tell you that absolutly stunning feeling when we rounded the corner to see a huge sign that read"Jesus Loves You" gas station...<br /> The Jesus Loves You Gas station...<br /> The pastor of this local church, in an effort to reclaim this particular part of this particular neighborhood.. decided to buy it up one piece at a time.<br /> In a moment of prayer we were guided to the Jesus Loves You gas station..how cool and blessed was that!!!<br /> It was not only the cleanest gas station Ive ever encounterted... but the first time I had a prayer in a gas station.<br /> It took only a few moments for us to be gathered in prayer,.. Night church was about to begin so a few of the congregants were showing up to fill up before at the last min.<br /> One of the "Church Ladies" called my friend and I over to the garage and at once we were in a hand holding circle of prayer with every one there praying for intervention for God to bless the way and keep us in his sight.. it was like my mother was there!!, it was fantastic,, it was so wonderful..it was the most amazing part of the trip that from that point on remained even more amzing..<br /> Anyway....its a great memory and youve just reminded me of it ... thought you would enjoy thanks for posting that pic...Michellejmichelle Betaudierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14698619264501032488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-189029708047443299.post-41227392532790102362009-04-28T02:56:00.000-05:002009-04-28T02:56:00.000-05:00Boo!
