A couple of weeks ago I was walking through the cafeteria at my school. I saw one of the ladies who is always quite friendly cleaning up the tables. I said "hi" and asked how she was doing and then noticed that she had something on her ankle! I was about to comment on her pedometer when I thought better of myself. I ended up just walking away. As I thought about it later, I decided that surely it was a pedometer because if she was on house arrest or something she couldn't work in the school.
Well, this morning, thanks to the morning talk show I wake up to, I had an epiphany that it was not a pedometer, or that she was on house arrest. But, I had to thank God, that He encouraged me to shut my big fat mouth as I realized that it was an alcohol monitoring anklet!
My revelation helped me remember again that God really IS good! Well, not that I never thought that before, but it's just amazing how He is always in the little things! My actions that day in the cafeteria, whether or not I embarrassed her and/or myself, were not going to be Earth shattering, but yet His Spirit gently whispered into my ear that the question I was going to ask this woman would be better left unsaid! I know that I haven't always listened to that still small voice in the past, but lately I have wondered if I really do hear from God! I guess this is my answer! He is still there, gently nudging me forward with His encouragement and love! I just have to listen a little bit more carefully! I'm so glad I listened that particular day!

Marci, I so admire you and love how humble you are. Your post just reflected that so beautifully. :-) And reminded me to listen to the Spirit because He knows all things!
