There was an amazing event where many churches came together to produce this milestone worship/prayer event in my region. In advance I invited 3 people Holy Spirit showed me to invite. I am the sort of person that does not push ideas onto people in regard to an invitation. I share it and then they have to hear from Holy Spirit if they attend or not. I do not judge or put condemnation on them. One said ok and we planned to meet at a truck stop location at a certain time to follow each other for the venue was literally around the corner from this truck stop. Like I have shared all along with you, Holy Spirit gives me sort of like a timeline/table of content list when He gives me His directions. I knew this that I was to leave my house @ 3:00pm and heading to the venue get the car washed. There are several car washes where I reside but I had an inkling of one particular one. As I am turning down the street there was a new car wash built. He says go to that one. It was a great experience for me. Have you ever been to a car wash where it is made with glass type of walls so you can look out while having your car washed? Then I looked to my left and it was like it was a wall of a mirror so you could actually see the car on the outside as it was being cleaned. I will go back to this car wash, it was $1.00 more than other local ones but well worth the money for such a wonderful car wash experience. I did not have time to vacuum and the representative told me about the state of the art vacuums they have. Somehow 2 are connected to each other and they do not continually run all day long just while being used. I definitely will need to go back to experience this. Another thing I kept seeing the word Rainbow on little signs above you for it was like you drove under bows above you. Oh my then the thank you sign that actually posts thanks for the car wash you paid for, it is mentioned in the thank you sign. As you approach the end of the car wash a sign has two choices, the one states relax while the other one lets you know it is finished and you can drive forward.
So I am to make another stop on the way, The Fresh Market. I called in advance to see if they had 2 particular coffee beans to be ground. They said they did have one and told me about a chocolate raspberry and I should request that a person that works in the store has to grind it for you. I had the time to make this stop because I did not have to meet my friend until 4:30pm. I get there and I find Almond Amaretto coffee beans but I do not see Chocolate Cherry Kiss, that bin is empty. I only saw Chocolate Molten. I was willing to get them and mix the two and there was suppose to be a Chocolate Raspberry flavor also. The store rep. had to get someone from the coffee area to further assist me. She comes over and shows me the raspberry one was already ground in a sealed package. That was not going to work for me because it is the combo I first mentioned that really works great together. I think I discovered this combo when I was in AL a bit over a year ago when I had a break in between ministry sessions and I went exploring the area and stumbled upon a location of The Fresh Market and purchased the beans of this combo of coffee and ground the 2 together. With further discussion, I found out there will be a shipment this week and both coffees will be available for them to grind up my combo choice. I then asked if there was a rest room available and she directed me to the restroom. Good thing because I am not so much a porta potty type of gal and that would have been the only choice for me at this venue. Oddly enough, one was located in front of my parking spot there.
I get back on the highway and I am now heading to meet my friend. I get off at the exit and as I am waiting in line for the light to change and even after the light changes I think I recognize the person in the car in front of me. I am going to an event in which maybe 1,000 cars it can hold in their parking lot and of all the cars to be in front of me is someone I think I recognize and know? Just a little nudge Holy Spirit is saying I am right on track with me being at this divine destiny appointment in time in my life. I now can see where my friend is parked in the parking lot so I call to verify I am at the light and ready to turn in. She meets me as I pull in and I then follow her to our appointment with destiny. We are directed to a parking spot and we roll down our windows to talk and catch up with each other. She is an editor and we talk about a book she is editing for someone right now and is not charging this person anything to do this. I shared with her that of the books I read I tend to find more typo errors in books published by Destiny Image and self published books and hardly any at all with books from Whitaker House. I told her about what I thought I learned in regard to using ( ) she told me she would look it up but she thought I was doing it correctly the way I was doing it. She explained when you are suppose to do it like this ( ). to me also.
You all know I am a worshiper right? So I brought along my ministry satchel. It houses my 2 rain sticks; plenty of pens to take notes in my leather bound journal; 3 percussion shakers; 2 bible translations; and my praise hand held banner I made. I knew there just may be an opportunity to worship here, at least in my car. I did just that. We had to tune into a radio station to hear the worship and the prayer portions too. I was worshiping in my car with all 3 instruments. Not both rain sticks for the Holy Spirit really likes the sound that comes forth from the blue rain stick I have. This venue was referred to as a field and remember when I shared with you, yes, there will be stadiums filled with worship is correct but He also showed me fields would be filled with worship.
I am living that right there. So the song Waymaker Miracle Worker starts and I feel this tugging inside me to get out of my car and stand by it with my rainstick in hand to release the sound of heaven into the atmosphere via worship. I hesitate at first thinking what if someone asks me to stop playing it.You know this has happened to me before in a few churches where it is not accepted as a form of worship. I seek counsel from my friend parked next to me and I share my concerns, she knows of them and she encourages me to follow what Holy Spirit is showing me. I step out in faith and obey and boy was I blessed. Good thing I was standing next to my car because there were a few times I wished there was a catcher there because I felt myself rising upward in a moment here and there and glad the car was there to brace me. I obeyed in the moment for that very song and then my stepping out in faith moment was fulfilled. I then returned to the inside of my car and continued on.
Amazing, Amazing, Amazing is all I can say about this date with destiny day for me.
