Today I was talking to a friend of ours mother, we were discussing spiritual things and she was telling me some of her life stories, one that i want to share!
Her story started like this.......
"One day, after teaching at school, i was driving home. I wasn't far from the school when i noticed there had been a wreck up ahead. As i passed by I felt God calling me to stop, get out of the car and go see what was wrong. Seeing there were several police officers around, my courage failed me, and i kept driving. I hadn't gone far when i felt God telling me to turn around and go back, so i did, and when i got there, i again felt him calling me to go and check things out, make sure everything was ok, but again my courage failed me, as i wondered, what are those people going to think when little me just walks up in the center of everything? Again, i drove off. Not too long up the road God told me to go back, so i did, but the same thing happened. I got back in my car, only to drive a small way to hear God calling me back, so turned around. When i got there i got out, and it was strange, no one even noticed me, i walked right into the center of everything! I looked down on a stretcher to see one of my students, when she saw me she looked so relieved and called to me and asked me to contact her mother, telling her what had happened and that she was being taken to the hospital (no cell phones back then). So I did. The next day they brought me a small gift, and she thanked me for stopping, saying she had watched several of her other teachers look and drive by. I was so glad God had called me to stop and help that girl, even if it took a while :)"
Have you ever felt God calling you to do something but you just shake it off, or say, "no God, I'm just too small, I'm just well, me!" I know we have. But if God is telling you to do it, the worst thing we could do is run the other way, or be a Jonah. This story got me pumped for the next time I feel called to say or do something for some one else, even though it may come across as odd to others, you never know how you might be a blessing to that person! So don't be afraid to shine the light of Jesus, and if the world looks at you like you're crazy, that means you're doing the right thing! Dare to be.... abnormal.
