Reminders through beauticians

I received a very refreshing and encouraging blessing while Blake was getting his hair cut the other day. We were at one of the hair cutting facilities in a strip mall and I overheard the conversation that the stylist next to Blake's was having with the customer in her chair.

It seems that the young stylist had asked the young man in her chair about how things were going in his life. The young man gave the usual reply of, "Everything is pretty good." The stylist went on to ask about children. The young man said he had a son but that the mother and he had gotten divorced. Then, he went on to share that he had made mistakes and was trying to figure things out. Then, I heard this young stylist say, "GOD has a plan for your life. Yes, we've all made mistakes, we have all failed, but if you are GOD'S child, and you say you are, GOD still has a plan for your life..."

Today's word is Psalm 32:8, NLT, which reads, "The LORD says, 'I will guide you along the best pathway for your life. I will advise you and watch over you.'"

It was refreshing and humbling to see this young stylist use her occupation, her calling, her job for ministry. She was sharing the gospel with someone that was searching for direction. We have all failed. We have all found ourselves lost and confused about GOD'S plan for our lives from time to time. We have all searched for answers and hoped for solutions, and here was this young lady sharing the good news that GOD will direct you.

We will all have moments when we can't seem to get footing, where we can't seem to get traction, where we can't seem to make sense of all that is going on. But, if we will turn to GOD, He has promised to guide us, advise us, and watch over us. And, sometimes, He even sends reminders through beauticians.

Be Blessed,
Mickey T
