God uses people.... Even Me

God uses people….even me.

I haven’t been able to get a job due to my background. I’ve been trying for 2 months solid. I had a job but my friend’s daughter died so I went to be with her, I lost my job, came back and shortly after another dear friend lost her daughter.

So a friend of mine asked me to volunteer at her job with United Way. I said sure, I have nothing else to do. I would love to. Little did I know, God was already working. I was so excited about the fact I would be getting out of the house to help others. I just wanted to help others and love people. I started a special mission last week and found 4 people I didn’t know and asked them to be my friend on facebook. I told them I wanted to build a relationship, and we could pray for each other.

Our church stated our summer revival these last three weeks. Tonight was the last night. The speaker was talking about how God called us to help and to love others. God touched my heart and I thought I wanted to go on a mission trip right then as he was preaching. The Preacher kept saying that if we get revival in our hearts we can change Decatur, Alabama. And then it hit me. It was like God was sitting right in front of me. No, I could not see Him. But, I could feel His presence. He said, “Tracy I am getting ready to use you. I don’t want you to work. I want you to be available  to me. The volunteering with United Way is big. I am getting ready to use you to love on people and I am going to work through you to reach people in Decatur.”  The tears started flowing. When the invitation was given I surrendered my all to Him.  I said, “Father, here I am, use me. I surrender my all to you.”
