Impressions of the Spirit...

Following impressions of the spirit today proved very beneficial... I was on campus attending class, studying for midterms, doing finance homework and trying to get on top of things... and after my last class I just felt like I needed to go home.

As I walked in the door it smelled hot, like something burning... but remembering that Michelle had destroyed her toast this morning I tried to dismiss the feeling and could not. I walked into the kitchen just in time to watch the wrapper on a loaf of bread burst into flame. The loaf of bread had once been contained by a ziploc bag which was completely melted--thus the hot smell I had noticed when I walked in...

Apparently someone left the toastmaster plugged in... it had gotten so hot it melted and ignited anything in close proximity.

Often times I follow impressions and never see the end result or know just "why" I felt to do something, I think there are times that we simply show our obedience to the Lord and demonstrate our willingness to be led; however, there are times like today where I am blessed to see the end from the begining and how grateful I am to have followed the feeling to go home. Thanks be to God! I am so grateful for His guidance and love.
