A Lesson Learned In Listening!

Ok. So it was day 4 or so at OGN and we were given a mission. Find these nine envelopes, they are filled with money and hidden around the building. You have 10 minutes, ready go! So I get up and I’m looking around yet see nothing. Keep looking, looking; about five minutes into it I see that five envelopes have been found. I run into a friend and express how I am really bad at this game; he holds up an envelope and declares that he is actually quite good.

Ah dang!! All I want is to find a stinkin’ envelope! So I tell God; ya know what God. I’m really bad at this game, but I sure would like an envelope & if You could just show me where one is then that would be great. I close my eyes for a few seconds and all I see is a toilet seat.. Really, that’s just disgusting.

Discouraged I head back inside the auditorium. After everyone gets back they count up the envelopes. They are one short, they find out it is number nine and the game coordinators just start laughing. A guy in the crowd asks where it is and all that they answer with is, you are the wrong gender.

This guy books it to the bathroom and comes back with the last envelope.

I am shocked; and then I hear it. God is laughing. Bree, you asked me to show you & I did. Next time you ask, don’t go on thinking it’s just you cause here’s the thing … although you are good, your not THAT clever.

I love you you Love. Just listen to me when I answer you, because it is quite often.

Oheythanks!!

    I like whoever (probably Ed) pointed out that God would be crazier than we probably think. He'd probably be the one getting US into trouble :)
