I am in awe of God's power to move us into action. Tonight I had a sense of God's powerful "nudging"--a push into action. It happened this evening while I was walking home from class. Normally I have friends who drive me home, and who, once again, graciously offered to do so tonight. However, I felt a desire to walk. About half way home, I encountered a gentleman named Lawrence who was asking for money. I have seen Lawrence in the neighborhood before. He's a friendly man. Tonight, he asked me if I could give him just $2 to catch the bus to the homeless shelter for the night. It was the only way he would have to be warm this evening. I had no money on me and told him regretfully so. At that moment, I look down to see Lawrence's hands, callused and cracked from long exposure to the wind and cold of the day. In that moment, I was moved by God's "nudging" into action. I didn't stop to think. I didn't question my actions.
