When that happens I can understand people looking back and saying “I think that was too good an idea to have been mine – I think it must have been God’s idea.”

(Although I do think people can have very good ideas)

Me too

In Alcoholics Anonymous they say

“coincindences are gods way of remaining anonymous”

Passing thoughts and vague urges are about all most of us get in life when it comes to feeling led

My husband and I have often discussed this very topic. We are incredibly uncomfortable with someone who says, “God told me to do this.” I think it is the certainty with which they describe it that seems to bother me because I don’t have that kind of certainty. I only have what I feel, and feelings are very experiential.

I’m not denying that God works in our lives by a long shot, but my experience is that His voice is much more like a whisper than an order. It is a quiet advice that I still get to choose to listen to or not listen to.

I agree; I also agree that if we do act on them they can lead to amazing things.

God is capable of doing great things if we allow Him the freedom to work in our lives.

They don’t always start as great things. Sometimes, they start as a stray thought or a passing idea, but when acted upon, they become something amazing.

Thank you for role-modelling being out there doing rather than just thinking about doing.

Please post about this lady again if you have more interaction with her on your future visits. I would like to hear anything else you have to share about her.
