The other day a woman came
to pick up her check. This is the first person that I have followed all the way
from the pre screen to the actual rent check. She came in and I had her fill
out certain forms etc. Then at the end of our meeting I asked if I could pray
with her. She said yes. I prayed for God to keep her and for her family to
experience joy that they have never known. Oh God, to keep them safe and near
to Your heart. Amen. I looked up to see her face covered in tears. She wept. I
put my hand on her shoulder. We sat there, together.
The next day my supervisor,
Ashley, told me that the woman had called looking for her. Kelly told her how
special I was and that I had the best heart she had seen in a while.
God knew I needed a moment
like that. I have been discouraged lately with the desk-joby-ness of my
position. Now, I feel encouraged.
You hold my being. You wrap
yourself around every detail of my life. You place everything into motion. And
all I have to do is stand in the palm of your hand.
