Yesterday was a MESSAGE for me. 🥹🙏🏾❤️ Can I SHARE🥹❤️💯🙏🏾
After a week of minor distractions and attacks coming from nowhere, I made up my mind that I wasn’t moving out of fear. I prayed, “God, lead me. I’m depending completely on You.” And while all of that was happening, God was quietly working some things out for me.
Then yesterday, before we even opened, cars were already waiting. My husband looked outside and said, “That’s that lady we haven’t seen in a long time.”
I looked up and said, “OMG… MS. HATTIE!” 🥹😍
I met Ms. Hattie about five years ago during my second year in business. From the very first time we met, something about her reminded me of my grandmother—her smile, her spirit, the way she talks to me, and most of all, she ALWAYS has a WORD. I’ll never forget her telling me, “Pay your tithes.” That was something my grandmother stayed on us about.
When I relocated two years ago, I hadn’t seen Ms. Hattie since. Yesterday she told me, “It wasn’t nothing but the Lord that helped me find y’all today.” She said something told her to drive through the parking lot, and when she saw the name she thought, “I think that’s my people.” 😭🙏🏾
She sat in that third booth just smiling at me, and it felt like my grandmother had come by to visit me for a little while. 🥹❤️
Before she left, she asked whether she should tip me or my daughter. I jokingly said, “Nope, this MY table!” 😂 But then I caught her doing something my grandmother used to do—she balled up some money, slipped it into my daughter’s hand, looked over at me and SMILED.
Y’all… I almost lost it. 🥹🥹🥹
And all day long, the people just kept coming. NONSTOP. What I had prayed and asked God for… HE DID IT.
Sometimes God doesn’t answer you with a loud announcement. Sometimes He sends a familiar smile, an elder with a word, a packed room, a little reminder—and says, “I heard you. Keep going.”
It feels so good to have a relationship with the Lord where you can recognize Him even in the smallest moments.
Yesterday wasn’t just a good business day. It was confirmation. 🙏🏾❤️
