Godly Gals ~ Tami Sosa

I had been looking forward to that night for a couple of months – Praise and coffee night for women had finally arrived!

As it was the first one I had ever attended, like a child I was filled with anticipation.

Nothing could have prepared me for the incredible experience, however.

It was a beautiful crisp night, so the event was held outside.

As approximately 50 of us stood to our feet to worship, the music began – the kind of worship that grabs you from the very first note.

As we cried out to God, the moon illuminated us like a light on a stage.

I opened my eyes for a moment, and was touched by what I saw.. As we sang “Hallelujah” (The only word in the world that is the same in every language I learned that night) People had stopped on the sidewalk and were watching us sing. People had also parked their cars close by with their windows down to hear us as well. 

I knew they felt the presence of God, for His word says in Psalm 22:3 that “God inhabits the praises of His people.” As I praised, I wondered what was going on in the lives of the people that were observing us.

I began to pray that God would meet them right where they were at that night – I didn’t know what was going on in their lives, but God does.

I thank God that He allowed me to see Him at work that night. 

He saw it fit that those particular passers by just happened to be at that place, at that time so He could reveal to them – and to us – just how awesome He is…
