Just when you least expect it...

...God blesses your socks off! Tonight, my friend Jen and I had the incredible privilege of praying for a beautiful woman named Maria. For the last 10 years, Maria has been living in Amsterdam and recently came back to the states to be with her family because of some serious health issues. Her brother, who lives here in Minneapolis, somehow found our church and called our pastor to ask if we would be willing to come and agree with Maria for God's healing in her body. She has no support system here in the Twin Cities other than her immediate family, and just the fact that Bluer was chosen to come along side her in prayer is so amazing to me. Out of all the churches in the area, we have been given this opportunity to bless this family, and yet in so many ways I am convinced that God has placed this situation before us to bless us and remind us that He has not forgotten us, that He desires to use us for His glory, and that He has an amazing plan and purpose for our church. It is a beautiful thing to be so intricately connected to believers all around the world because of the love we share for Jesus. I am truly blessed by this encounter with Maria.

"How good and pleasant it is when brothers live together in unity...for there the Lord bestows His blessing, even life forevermore."
Psalm 133:1, 3
