Day 16 - Half Time

After my morning prayer, "Surprise me, God," today began in a normal fashion. Around mid-morning, however, I did have an opportunity to chat with a rather new acquaintance. He shared about family and children. I talked about Jacob's upcoming birthday and Krista. We also talked a lot about growing up in the 70's and those "black and white" days-of-faith during our youth. Much more was said - but that's enough for here.

God, this conversation was unexpected and enjoyable. I think that qualifies as a surprise.

During the evening, a small group of friends gathered for our weekly 'hometeam.' Tonight we talked about the first half of our 30-day journey. It was encouraging to hear the stories of others concerning their surprising moments along the way. Some moments were positive. Others, not so much. But the telling of each story had the unique flavor of God. That was exciting to hear.

I'm looking forward to the last half of my adventure. And so, with a bit more trepidation than on day one, "Surprise me, God."
