Two More Miracles for the Week

The next day a woman from the ward brought a homemade fried chicken dinner that I had won at a service auction. 

It was unreasonable--unrighteous, even,  to think that I could ever be alone or uncared for.  But God in his tender, gentle way send several reminders that he is in the details, He knows, He will not leave me comfortless, He will come to me.  How grateful I am for the people who choose to be His hands so I can have miracles in my life. 

I had a very vivid dream about a woman in our neighborhood.  I have spoken to her several times, but always felt like I said the wrong thing.  I was honestly a bit intimidated and uncomfortable because I didn't know how to relate to her.  In the dream we were close friends.  We were having a barbecue and having such a wonderful time together.  I awoke feeling a little nervous about what that meant.  I knew I should at least try to contact her, but I was really nervous.  She was a pretty private person and I didn't have her number.  I had tried to invite her to join the homeschool group, but the invite was turned down.  I wasn't sure I even had her correct email.  As I was wondering how God wanted me to proceed, the picture came to my mind of me walking by her house and of her coming out to talk to me. 
So I courageously and very nervously set out on a walk.  A different route than I have ever taken.  I never know where things will lead when I think I'm following a prompting from the Spirit.  Sometimes things are completely unexpected.  It was much too early to knock on the door.  I walked up her long, steep street and around the Cul-de-sac.  Nothing.  I walked very slowly around the cul-de-sac, giving the miracle as much time to happen as possible.  Nothing.  Oh well, at least I obeyed, I thought.  I might have been a little relieved, honestly.  But just as I headed back down the street, just at the moment that her front door would have left my view, she came out of her house!  I turned around and greeted her.  She seemed genuinely happy to see me.  She was excited to come to the homeschool park day.  I walked that route a few other mornings and had a chance for a quick greeting as she took her older children to school.  We've had some wonderful discussions.  She is my friend now.  I have learned some important things from her.  Amazing.
