5:43
This morning I was woken up at 5:43 a.m. by my room phone going off. Now at first I'm too grogy to realize it is going off and then I realize what it means. It means that some girl in the dorm in locked out and needs back into her room.
Now I didn't want to answer it because I lost my keys the other day and would have no way to let her in, but I answered it anyway.
Who was on the other line? None other than the last resident who lived in here sister, who spoke Spanish.
I don't know how I answered her, I don't know how she didn't realize that my Spanish was awful. She just started giving me a bible study. The thing was I understood.
At first I was just listening, but then I hoped on my computer and looked up the texts in English as she read them in Spanish. Angela was asleep in my room and I didn't want to turn on the light to look for my bible.
She emphasized after reading each verse how if we give everything to go and let Him command our lives than we will have nothing to fear. She mention time and time again how Jesus was coming soon, very soon and it is important that we stay close to Him and read these verses an think about them in whatever we do: walking, driving, being alone, etc.
You know what? I think I've lost sight in my relationship with God. I know he is coming again, but it just doesn't seem right now. But, He is and I need to remember that and be like Marlina and share verses of inspiration and hope with my friends and family and even people who I don't know who answer the phone at 5:43 a.m. and tell them about His Wonders and His Glory.
God delivers wake up calls... literally. He especially likes the early hours like 5:43.
