As I rounded the corner to checkout, I noticed Eileen was working.

So I went to her line at Kroger.

I heard her tell the lady she was checking out in front of me that her pastor calls her a female Job (from Bible)....like from all the suffering she encounters.

The last time I was there Eileen told me I was a blessing....but I knew she didn't know my name as she said that as I walked away. I looked back and realized she was talking to me. And I thought to myself, her comment took "time." Visit after visit to Kroger, noticing her....engaging...asking questions. Seeing her.

I have been to Kroger several times recently and not seen her working.

Today, she looked at me with a huge smile of surprise like "I haven't seen you in so long!"

I was like "I know, where have you been? I looked for you!"

She started ringing up my groceries and said "What is your name?" 

"Teresa." 

Eileen: "What has God been doing in YOUR life recently?"

(This was the first time it has ever flipped to me.)

TT: Well, I just finished my first draft of a book I am writing.

Eileen: What is it about?

TT: Finding God in suffering.

I knew the Lord wanted me to share this story today. Maybe it is for you. 

If you do not grow weary in doing good, you WILL reap a harvest.

My Dad told me that I have the butterfly effect on the world. A butterfly flapping their wings in one part of the world can affect weather patterns on the other side of it.

I am believing for revival in America.

If we are faithful with the little, He will give us much.
