I decided to go through the car wash at the Malbis Shell station a few days ago.  The young man who was the car wash attendant that day had no idea that the Lord was about to bless him, and neither did I.  When I was about midway through the car washing, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and told me to go back around after the car wash finished, and talk to the young man and give him the $50.00 bill that I had just gotten about 10 minutes earlier.  I had to smile because I knew this was going to be another special blessing time for me!  I drove back around, parked, and started walking toward his little booth.  He met me half way out with curiosity.  I said “I know you might think this is a little strange, but the Lord wanted me to come talk to you and give you this money.’ Read more »

My husband and I go on a date on a regular basis and we went to our “normal” spot for dinner. It was a pretty crowded night and obviously we were getting antsy. We finally got seated and about a couple tables down from us was a couple and their teenage daughter. I know them from work. I can say that these people haven’t had it so easy the last few months. I won’t tell their story, but all these people have had was a lot of judgment thrown their way. We all know that we have absolutely no right to judge anyone unless we have never sinned. Anyways, my husband and I decided that we wanted to “Just Because” them. We didn’t want them to know who did it, but we wanted them to feel that not everyone judges them and that they are loved. So a couple days later, the man came into my office and thanked me for the dinner. At first I tried acting like I had no idea what he was talking about, but then he told me that they had been heavily searching for the right church to attend and to actively serve in. He said that he believes that the “Just Because” card was a way for God to show them where they needed to be. Ever since then they’ve been at Bay and are planning on becoming members and making Bay Community their new home and family.
