God is Great, all you have to do is listen

I just woke up this morning and man does God do some cool things. So recently I was given hope for school but looked like it wasn’t going to work out but I said I will bend but I won’t beak. I will praise the lord in all things that He does. Yesterday I called my cousin who I have not talked to in 12 years. I just hear about him through my other family on the west coast and they do not get along. I called around my family to find out how to contact him and finally got the number from my grandma. I told my uncle earlier and he said good luck. So I called and left a message saying he was my family and I haven’t really cared about him and that’s not what family does and just wanted to apologize and talk to him. He texted me back saying hi. That was something great in and of itself but later I called him and we talked for a little under an hour and just to hear from him and for him to be open. I called him while he was driving to find a new job in Kansas a few hours away and he said talking was better than driving alone. I probably couldn’t have called at a better time but it was so great to hear from him and how he is doing. So I will continue to talk to him and pray for his and his family.

Then later that night God did not stop there. Me and six other guys from my dorm went to an all you can eat buffet…yum! Haha it was great but we were seated and of course we started eating but I felt something for our server and I don’t know how to describe it. You just see it on her face trying to hide something. So I went over and approached her. I said is everything alright, can I pray for you for anything and she immediately stated weeping. She walked over into the other room and continued to cried and I said what’s wrong. She started crying some more and said how her life just sucks. How she came to this buffet expecting better work and how the manager does not like her and is reducing her days. She said that they are just not nice and are messing with her life. She said she was about to walk out that night. We talked a little long and she gave me a big hug. She said thanks for caring because not many people do. At that point I started feeling pain that there are so many people who just need a person to care and people don’t. I went back to sit at my table with my friends and they saw what was happening so I told them what was going on and asked them if we could start praying for her so we went around in a circle. Man, I have a passion for people so much and that yesterday God humbles me to be thankful for everything I have and when you do great deeds they are nothing but when you do them because of God greater things happen. God keeps on raising the bar and I will do my best rise with it but the lesson I learn the most is to listen. Listen to the people around you and the voice inside your head and marvelous things can happen.
