Have You Been Transformed by Jesus?

Today was an odd day for me. I am one of those people that has a plan in their head about how things are going to go. I rarely make lists but always have one in my head. I plan my day, my week, and my month. I like to have a good idea of what my day is going to look like, and if that doesn't happen then I tend to get annoyed. If something is going to happen that I don't want to do, I can tolerate it as long as I know about it ahead of time and it's in "the plan". Today...."the plan" failed. I had a preconceived idea of what my work day would look like and the second I walked in the door I knew it would be totally the opposite. It ended up being a long day but it wasn't the end of the world. I left somewhat annoyed but trying to take something away from it. Lately, things haven't necessarily gone the way my plan has projected. God is showing me that what I think I want and what He wants to teach me are two different things. He doesn't always put me in places I want but He does put me in places I will learn from. To sum up the day I headed to wally world to get some supplies for my mission trip next week. I walked up to the "10 items or less" register and waited in line. I noticed the man's name tag said "hearing impaired" and so I didn't say much in order to avoid a weird situation. He rings up my items and then looks at my shirt. It says transformed(from a program at my church). Now many people have asked me about my shirt but this man was different. He asked "Transformed. Have you been transformed by Jesus?" He caught me off gaurd but I was delighted by the question and answered "Why yes sir I have!" He went on to say the he was saved many years ago and it made me so happy to see how eager he was to put himself out there and proclaim Jesus. I told him I was happy to hear it and he just smiled and said "me too."  I thanked him and left. God sure has a way of getting my attention when I'm trying to put all the focus on myself. Thank you Lord for the man at Walmart. What a blesssing.
