God Hugs

Today I was feeling a little down, so I told God that I wanted a Hug. Not just any old human hug, I wanted a God Hug. (Human Hugs are welcome but I especially needed to feel God working in my life today.) By God Hug I mean I wanted one of those events that show that God is working in your life in a explicit and detailed way. Then I got on with my day.

First I had a meeting with one of my Bible Study groups - this is a group of English Teachers who meet together weekly to memorise scripture. When I went into the office of one of the group members, her boss who is lovely gave me a Human Hug. 'Check' - prayer beginning to be answered. ^^

Then I gave a presentation to a bunch of new teachers who are about to begin their missionary service here in Korea. I was delighted to discover that the last meeting for the day was a presentation by Pastor Martin Kim - who 'just happened' to be in Seoul today and at the very last minute agreed to talk to the new missionary teachers, so I stayed to listen. Ps Martin Kim is well known in the US and travels around teaching people about prayer. After his presentation - which was exactly what I needed to hear - I spoke with his wife, we prayed and then she hugged me too. 'Check' - prayer answered.

The day was finished with a great chat with another friend over the phone and now I'm off to bed at the early hour of 8:45pm!!! and am fully expecting an amazing nights sleep.

I love it when God organises my day specifically so that He can show me that He is active in my life and that He cares about my needs - spiritual, emotional, physical and social.
