THE DIFFICULT ONE (PART 2)

I got out of the room alive. Now the Preacher's wife approaches me to give the testimony at the graduation ceremony. I didn't feel comfortable speaking before a large gathering. The children were great to teach, I could keep their attention with a piece of chalk. I agreed and got up that night before a large gathering and stated that God had sent me to this church for a reason and on and on. I said I knew there was someone listening God was trying to get through to.  Everyone went to the room to view the drawings and I went home

Two weeks later my phone rang and a Lady named Mrs. Parks was on the other end asking if I was the one who did the drawings at ___. Yes I said and she said that the lady who had arranged for me to teach had just come back from Michigan and told them who I was. NO ONE KNEW WHO I WAS.  I'll never forget what happened next. "Did you ever figure out why God sent you to ______? No I said. She said " Did you know the preacher resigned? No . Did you know the Choir Director resigned? (The Choir Director was a female)? No. and the crying started. I cried and cried. She said don't cry. There was an affair going on between these two. The church suspected it and when you came and did that drawing and talked before the church the Preacher said he knew God had sent you to expose him. So he resigned. I knew for the first time how God uses those that have surrendered themselves to him. I did not talk about this .  Only the church where I had drawn the picture and I knew about it.  I held  a reverential respect for God  and I never knew when this would happen again. I knew there was someone else -Christ -sharing my body.  It wasn't fear it was  humility and respect and a deep love.  And then things really started to happen. It has really been a wonderful journey and it still goes on.
