       Have you ever been amazed at God's hand in your life?

As a general rule when putting two participants together in the mentoring ministry we pray to find women with like experiences but one or more to help and the other with a need. Over the years the most common thread has been the Lord's intervention.  In many cases we have come up empty-handed, but waiting and listening to Him has always provided a miraculous revelations of direction.

          Proverbs 16:9 "In his heart a man plans his course, but the Lord determines his steps".

 The following events, written by Joyce Abney, Hull, Illinois, an Adopt Board Member, give a perfect  example of God's perfect purpose and timing in  

                             Heart to Heart Ministry

"Early this year I was asked by Carol, on behalf of our Heart to Heart Ministry, to contact a farm wife in West central Illinois. She and her husband were going through some financial difficulties only too familiar to many farm families today.

We phoned each other several times, had some very forthright discussions, shared the blessed hope in Jesus Christ, and prayed together, but we had been unable to find time to meet in person.

Then, one day as I was out visiting with the Ladies Ministry from my church about fifty miles from my home, Cindy, and I were trying to locate a young girl who had moved out of our area and was reportedly staying with relatives in another town. After several stops and a lot of questions, we were led to a farm home hoping to find this teenage girl. Of course, there was no one home, so we knocked on the door of the neighboring farm home.

Well, praise God! We had found the right family and were standing there talking with the mother of the young couple trying to help the same girl we were so concerned about. After several minutes we found out that she was in a Christian home, going to church and doing fairly well. We then thanked the lady who was so friendly and helpful. I gave her a tract (just in case she had any doubt about her salvation). I had written my name & phone number on it as I usually did when out visiting.

This lady stared at the tract, look at me and said, 'Do I know you?' Well, indeed she did. I was standing face to face with the very lady that God had told me to contact through Heart to Heart Ministry! We hugged and prayed, smiled and cried, and thanked God for His goodness!

When we sincerely pray for something to come of a situation, we must expect God to answer. But all too often, we begin planning His answer ourselves. How often we wonder how, or if, God is going to answer our prayer, then when He allows us to see His answer, we are shocked?

The Lord is teaching me that He is totally and completely in control. His timing is always perfect and it is always His timing. Even though we know God's grace is always sufficient, we still stand amazed at His Amazing Grace."

I would encourage you to take part in our Heart to Heart Ministry.   If you are  interested in receiving or giving encouragement or whether you are widowed, lonely, having problems and needing direction,  or just needing a friend, you will be amazed at the mighty work of His hand in your life.
