Weirdness

Do you ever have things happen to you that seem a little Twilight Zone-ish.  I have them all the time.  The latest—talk about “same wavelength”—but there’s this gal who can seemingly read my mind but has no idea she’s doing so.

This just started at a leadership retreat a couple months back.  There was lots of dialogue and input going on. Sometimes I’d share my thoughts but other times I’d hesitate out of fear usually.  And without a hitch this gal would say exactly what I was thinking and share it.  It happened 2 or 3 times over the day and half we were there.

So I pondered this and just thought it was kind of funny.  Now we’re in a bible study together and it’s still happening.  Last night (the second time it’s happened) I was going to comment on what this one fella said and hesitated.  Then moments later she said exactly what I was going to say but, and this is the funny part, she directed it at me as an encouragement thing about something I had said earlier.  I chuckled inside.  If she only knew how much I agreed with her comment.

What am I to do?  Do I start to say what’s on my heart because obviously my fear is unfounded.  Or do I sit back and watch the show?  It’s kind of fun.  No, in all seriousness, I think God’s allowed this for good and in the future I will keep doing what I’m doing.  I will work to overcome my fears of speaking out but it’s comforting to know if perhaps I hesitate a little too long, I’ll have a back up.  :)  (Wow God can work without me what a concept!)  It’s a nice confirmation in my mind that the conclusions I was draw or the idea I were think aren’t completely wacko.

It should be noted too that though I was sometime saddened that I had a chance for God to work though me or use me to say certain things and out of fear I missed it.  So I’ve learned that lesson as well. But even so God’s taught me something so all is good.
