As I rose from the dentist’s chair, I asked the dental assistant, “Are you happy?” We were both surprised. Me, because I felt the need to ask and her because I asked. First, she said yes, but then I could tell by her face something was going on. Her oh-so-happy face masked some negativity in her life. I didn’t expect her to share what was wrong, but I knew then I should be praying for her. Feeling that spiritual urge while speaking at church is one thing. An urge to say something specifically to a stranger is something else. No matter, when the Spirit says speak, I speak!
Are You Happy?

Awesome Sheila! I made a surprising statement on a tella call to my endocrinologist. Though others drug their feet to help with an appointment, I said it’s okay, God is healing it. It opened a door of faith for him to respond. When the Spirit nudges, we need to respond.
