Flipping a Coin


Have you ever wanted 2 things equally? Haha, I've came to a conclusion in my life that no matter what the situation there is always something you want more! I was reminded of that this week... one of my friends asked me what "NIKKI" wanted and I named off two things that were both very good, and he smiled and nodded and said but which one does Nikki want more? I said that I would be content with either. He said ok, then prove it; and he took a quarter out of his pocket and designated the 2 things that I wanted with a heads and a tails and then said that whatever the coin said I must follow. He flipped the coin and then covered it before I could see it, then he said "Best two out of three??" I raised my eyebrows wondering what that coin flip said. Having an idea that the coin had flipped heads, and him being able to read my facial expression, he pushed me to two out of three... He flipped again... He smiled and said ... 50% and then he flipped on last time and covered it before I could see it. He asked, "What do You want this to be," and all the sudden it became clear to me what I wanted but I did not answer. He asked, "what would you say if I told you it was heads..." my shoulders dropped and I hung my head a little then he proceeded to show me that the Quarter actully said tails, and he said "I told you knew what you wanted... NOW go pray about it... I guarentee if God's in it he'll give you what you really want as long as your patient!!! Now I'm not saying that life's problems can be solved by flipping a coin, but it is nice to figure out where you stand on things and then surrender it over to God, and He'll complete the rest.

If only life were as easy as flipping a coin! But that's kindof like Gideon and the fleece. If only we could flip a coin to figure out God's will...but He wants us to trust Him...yeah, I'm preaching to myself.
I'm glad you've figured out what you want! Now, just make sure it's what God wants!
