It was a MISERABLE late fall day in Cleveland. Cold, drizzely, and the job I was going to wasn't going to work out, and to make things worse, I was sick, headache, cold symptoms, etc. I had a CD in the player, and a local Texas group started to sing "I WAS, I AM, and I WILL" about God always being there for you. And the message of the piece hit me HARD where I live, and afterwards, even though nothing changed, it was better.
But then the Holy Spirit said (in my mind) "I want you to do that song for my people". SO after some wrangling (about not wanting to organize a band, with all the complications connected with that) I finally said O.K. - BUT you're gonna have to show me the way to get that done.
And that was it - the day stayed lousy, I was still sick, the job didn't work out, and I flew home.
And about a month later, the Spirit pointed out A Couple in church and let me know that they were my "Core group" and then another couple were the "backup". SO we had a first rehearsal - and it was terrible. BUT the first couple knew a gal that sang, and she joined, and had a "Golden ear" for harmony which brought everybody together, and there was a band. And we did that song for His people, and many other songs in Nursing homes, Churches, and Oprys around the Dallas area for the next 5 years.
HE put it all together, involved the right people, and it remains one of the biggest blessings of my life.
Of course being in Texas to begin with, was another "directive" from the Holy Spirit.
In '89, I was interviewing for a job in North Dallas, and quickly it was OBVIOUS that the company I was interviewing with didn't HAVE A CLUE. They didn't understand the market, they didn't understand the process, and they didn't even have a viable product. SO I wrote them off, but they took me to dinner that evening, and the Holy Spirit said (in my mind) "Join this company".
SO after some wrangling (My common sense told me it was a REALLY Stupid thing to do), I did, and for the next 11 years, I watched God keep that worthless company in business, and supporting me and my family, until something better came along in '02.
There's a verse in Psalms, that says (Psa 37:5) "Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass". 59 years ago I did, and he has. As a matter of fact, God gave that verse to my Mother back in '62, about me (I was terminally depressed, suicidal, and hopeless), and several months later, I was Born AGain, and "back on track".
