We welcomed her & showed her the bathroom (where words of life & truth are written all over the mirror!) and while she was in there I gathered up a mini booklet & some brochures and stuff!
She came out & said, "thank you! I'm at the church next door for a funeral & needed the bathroom...who is this 'Hope Foundation'?
Of course...I gladly told her! She then said, "do you do public speaking?" I excitedly said - "yes, I do!". She proceeded to tell me that she runs a women's group & they meet once a month for lunch in the city & she would love me to come & speak one day.
I hear that a lot, so I gave her my card and that was it...
3 weeks ago she called me saying the Lord Mayor had been booked for November but needed to change it to December & could I do it instead!
So...today I spoke for 50 women aged 50+ and an exclusive gentlemans club in the city.
Today God redeemed another broken fragment of my heart.
All because a precious lady needed a loo & she (like I!) didn't want to by-pass the "connection for a reason" moment!
You see, 15 years ago i entered that same club, for a private function...as a sex worker.
Today i entered that club free and expectant for God to do an even deeper healing work inside of me. And He did.
I left that club today an even freer woman than I was when i had walked in.
I'm awed at the depth of His love.
I'm shocked at the variety of layers of pain that He so sweetly broke through today.
I'm loved.
I'm His.
I'm free....
My healing is in His hands, in His timing, by His stripes.
Still processing...had to share.
Faithful God.
