Open? Am I open?

I was praying.

Father, let me be open to your leading and to do what you want me to do.

Not those exact words, but the sense. A dangerous prayer for someone who likes to plan and keep a predictable calendar.

I got a WhatsApp message. Brian can you drive tomorrow to the children's clinic with F? M needs an operation and the pre op evaluation is taking place. Transport required for the refugees.

As it turns out I had no time fixed appointments, so I said yes. The one led to the other and now I know the details better than anyone. So tomorrow I am there  as well for the operation.

As it turns out I had no fixed schedule for the time of the operation either - which is really unusual.

I am trying to learn, and I think this time I just might be getting it right.

There is a reason.

There are no coincidences with God.  I am praying for greater sensitivity and today I tried to follow. I am eager to see what it means.
