Leaving home was not my desire. Our
daughter and family would be moving thousands of miles away in a few short
days, our previous house, on the market for two years appeared to have a buyer,
we would be leaving in three days for our 11th grandchild’s
dedication, our daughter and five children were coming for a week and parts of
my life seemed to be caving in around me.
Nevertheless, a road trip celebrating my dear friend’s 60th birthday
seemed the ideal diversion!
For months, since Debbie’s birthday in March, we
had planned to visit Revive Our Hearts in Niles, Michigan. This was Debbie’s first time to sit in on a
day-long session of radio recordings of Nancy Leigh DeMoss and nothing would hamper
this road trip!
After a good night’s sleep we woke to a lovely
day! Debbie drew the curtains revealing
the dawn and led us in a creaky, morning voice rendition of , “This is the Day
That the Lord Hath Made”, then read the day’s devotion in her new favorite
book, Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young.
Speedy showers, a half eaten breakfast, quick check-out at the hotel and
off we went to the long awaited day of teaching and fellowship.
As Debbie parked her large, green SUV in front
of Life Action Ministry headquarters I glanced at the cute little red crossover
and the gray haired lady pulling up two spots away. The gray haired lady smiled at me and in an
instant I knew we would meet that day. I
turned to Deb and said, “That gray haired lady right there…I must meet her
today!”
