So, this morning was men's breakfast at Covenant. I really did not want to go because I've been tired of being gone and was looking forward to working in the yard. Also, I had forgotten about it and wasn't reminded until like 10pm last night. So, last night I was grumpy about it. Before bed, Liz said "maybe you shouldn't set any alarms and just pray that God would wake you up in time if He wants you to go". I thought this a silly idea because certainly I would sleep through and then would be really dangerous as I slept away the whole morning. So, I didn't put much stock in the idea.
But, right before bed, I decided that maybe I should have more faith, so I decided to try it. I set no alarms, not even a backup and I asked the Lord to wake me if He wanted me to go to breakfast. I slept great and was in the middle of a really involved and stressful dream when suddenly I was like wide awake and it was 6:26am. It was the weirdest thing. I went from totally dreaming to "boing!" awake. My head was sort of spinning and I realized this must be God waking me up and getting me to men's breakfast. I had time to shower, make coffee and make it there 5 minutes early and chat with Wayne. It was perfect.
I'm also so glad that He had me to wake up and go. The speaker was an Ethiopian member of our church with an amazing testimony to share. It was really neat and really inspiring and helpful. A great morning!
