Apostolic Friends Forum - Don't You Love It When God Does Cool Things?

Every once in awhile it seems that God does something really cool that lets me know he is there and cares for me.

Last week was a very tough week at work for me. As part of my job I had to carry out a very unpleasant task that made me feel that most of my last nine months of hard work in a certain area had been in vain.

I manage a portfolio of business worth annually between forty and fifty million dollars. I deal with both large corporations and independent business owners. I had to shock and disappoint business persons I have developed a good working relationship with and in essence kiss away about five to ten million dollars worth of annual business.

I felt just horrible. It was a personal embarrassment for me to have to deliver the news I did to some of my customers. I was literally sick over the entire situation and very stressed out.

At the end of this very bad week I received a voice mail from a former member of AFF. A conservative Pentecostal preacher I have become friends with. When I called him back he said that I had been on his mind and he just wanted to touch base with me. I told him that I never cease to be amazed at how good God is. The evening I had gotten his voice mail saying I had been on his mind I knew that God had put me on his mind. Just the knowledge that God had done this and this good man was thinking about me and praying for me lightened my load considerably.

The funny thing is that it was not the kind of situation I would have ever asked for prayer about. I am a businessman and sometime unpleasant things are part of life so I don't generally whine and complain when they happen. I just take what comes and keep on going. However God knew I needed those thoughts and prayers and took care of me!

For those who think a forum like AFF is only entertainment I know that it is not.
