As I sit and have my cup of coffee with Jesus, I was thinking about a quote I read that says, ” Remember… interruptions are often God’s way of saying, ‘Hey, I need you over here!’” I call these moments SACRED INTERRUPTIONS. A SACRED INTERRUPTION is when you have your schedule and your “To Do” list and everything is going along well, and then you get a text, or a call, or an email, and God takes YOU in a different direction.
I used to fight these SACRED INTERRUPTIONS but now I realize I need them. They remind me that God is taking care of me and that often times my plan is not HIS plan. Whenever this happens, I can see afterward how HE was trying to get my attention because HE needed me to do something for HIM! I now expect them and welcome them. So today, if God blesses you with SACRED INTERRUPTIONS, embrace HIM and know that HE is guiding you, loving you, and directing you to where you need to be.
Have a blessed day!

I love those sacred interruptions! One of these days, when you have a few minutes,, remind me to tell you about the way God provided me with a Matchbox Humvee for evangelism! 😆
I couldn’t agree more with this. I have encountered many sacred interruptions that have brought blessings back to my life. We must always keep our ears open to the Lord’s influence.
Good Morning Father Craig , thank you for your message today . Have a Blessed Day ♥️🙏🙏
Thank you again for helping me start off my day
I use to feel upset and sometimes angry because my plans have changed so I felt overwhelmed. But the more I grew up and understood that I am not in control of my life, I have learned to follow the waves. I am a teacher, a Special Education teacher and in my profession we struggle to have enough staffing to cover those who are absent due to illness during this pandemic. My family was hit with Covid and I was home for more than 2 weeks caring for my family and myself. I felt guilty leaving my students and my aid and I knew that I would have to reteach my students when I returned. I thought I could still work from home and catch up on my studies. I am a third year teacher finishing up my credentials program and I can tell you it’s hard keeping up with the many changes and demands. Others have left the profession and those who are studying are rethinking their choices. See, I couldn’t work from home. God didn’t allow me to, he took my body pilot mode and allowed me to rest. Although I was fully vaccinated with my booster, my body was not equipped to orderly and organized. I was pretty sick. I didn’t know I needed the time to rest and take a moment and just be present. I learned that even through my stresses in life he still finds way to help me even when I feel that I can handle it and work so hard, he slows me down to appreciate what is true and real.
