GOD WINK

Never finishing, yes that is what I usually do.  One of my fellow Libra friends told me that this is characteristic of those that are born within the zodiac sign.  We seem to get many things going, but never conclude or close the deal.  This is the year I have decided to close a few deals.  I have a project that I am working on and it is my number one priority to finish during 2014.  I have set many things in place and gotten the ball rolling.  One piece is a children’s book.  I have written it and all I need now is an illustrator.  I know many artist but most of them are so busy doing other things that the job of drawing the pictures for a children’s book isn’t appealing.  I did think of one friend that I met during a reading workshop.  A very talented man who teaches English and sign language at the school of the deaf.  I logged into Facebook and searched for him only to find out we weren’t friends anymore.  I was so disappointed, “oh well,” I said to myself, “something will work out.”

A few days past and I kept thinking about the illustration of my book.  I guess I could draw the pictures myself, but detail isn’t my strong suit.  Back on Facebook I checked my friend requests, you are never going to believe it.  Just after 72 hours of searching for my friend he had sent me a friend request.  Chills filled my body; it was a God thing.  I accepted him and sent him a message.  The next part is even more amazing; he draws illustrations for Christian children books! 

God speaks to us.  He speaks to us through the power of coincidence.  Many miss this because they don’t realize he is speaking and they don’t listen for His voice.  I love these opportunities of hearing from Him.  It reminds me of how much he wants me to continue the plan he has put before me to accomplish.  In the book, “When God Winks At You, “ Squire Rushnell states that every time you receive what some call a coincidence or an answered prayer, it’s a direct and personal message of reassurance from God to you- what I call a Godwink.” 

Proverbs 16:9 In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps.  Follow His plan for you, let Him direct your steps and you will be opened up to His wonderful Godwinks.  You will find that He winks at you many times and with these winks He is saying, “I love you, I am here for you, follow me for the rest of your life.”
