God will use you in situations that you go through!

I am overwhelmed with the blessings and power of God! God has truly been blessing me and my husband. It's just so exciting to see the ways that He has been using me. Last Thursday God used me to minister to a girl who went through the exact same thing that I have been through, which is a miscarrage. I sat in my doctors office from 3:00p.m. until 5:48p.m. and at 4:21 a girl walked in the clinic. The Holy Spirit was totally drawing me to her, I just had that feeling that something was wrong, but thought well maybe she just has a cold. But then she ended coming out of the door into the waiting room and just the overwhelming sadness that flowed whenever she came out and the words "we are going to the hospital." Without even thinking about what I was doing, before I knew it I was out of my chair asking her for her name and telling her that I was going to pray for her! What...for those of you that know me...well that's just out of my comfort zone! Anyway, later on that day I went to my bible study and the whole time the Holy Spirit was prompting me to go to the hospital afterwards. After the bible study I asked my wonderful lady friends the question "how do you know that the God is telling you to do something?" Isn't that what we all wonder about? How do we know when God is speaking to you and telling you to do something? Well that night, I knew what I was suppose to go before I even asked them that...but you know the flesh! Needless to say, I asked a couple ladies if they would go to the hospital with me to see if this girl was still there. Well I was obediant to what God wanted me to do because doing this was totally out of my comfort zone. It was kind of an ordeal whenever I got there because I didn't know if I was going to be able to go and talk with her. Then I went up to the third floor and still wasn't sure. One of my friends said maybe God was just testing you to see if you would be obedient. I thought out loud...hey I can do that! But then another nurse came and waved me to go back...so I did. Yes, I prayed for her and the Holy Spirit was with me because as soon as I laid my hand on this girl, and my friends laid their hand on her and me....heat just started to pour all over me. Just thinking about it is just so overwhelming and awesome. Isn't God powerful?!
After leaving I just felt an abundance of peace "not as the world gives, but what He gives" overflowing within me. I get so excited when thinking about it! Just know that if God can do this by using me, He can and will use you too, just be still and listen!
