have you ever felt like God gave you a little hint to do something...???...my wife and i call them "God Winks"...i had one today...i was sitting on the deck at Murvaul admiring the lake and the quietness this morning havin' a cup wondering what i was going to do today...i wanted to stay at the lake, but i felt like i needed to get back to Nac...so we loaded up the dogs and came "home"...we were fixin' to eat dinner and the Fed Ex kid rang the door bell and asked for me...strange...i went out, and he said his BIG loaded truck would not start and wanted a jump...my wife had bought these portable jump starters and thank God one of them was charged enough to work, but the truck was a diesel with 2 batteries so i had to get the Hummer in front of the truck to jump it off that battery also...finally it started...i have given this Fed Ex kid cookies many times when he delivers our stuff so he knew he could trust me to help...BUT had i not listened to that "still small voice" / God wink, i would still be at Murvaul enjoying the lake...thank You Lord that i listened...

Back in 1993, the wife and I were looking buying at a Conversion Van for her and the 3 kids. My wife is the wheeler dealer when purchasing vehicles, and she set her price and they would not meet it. The were $50 over what she was willing to pay so we got up and walked out the door. On the drive home, she noticed a land for sale sign and said let's go look at what they had. We found a 5-1/2 acre lot we really liked and made an offer the next day and bought it. This is the place we have lives since we built the next year. The car dealer called the day after we closed on the land and said they they were willing to come off the price $200. My wife told them too little too late. If we would have bought the new van, we would not have bought the land. We both said God wanted us to have the new place more than the new ride.

ok, i have another one...we put a contract on a lake house "off the water" on Toledo Bend...did all the paperwork...got to the appraisal and my wife noticed the #'s didn't make sense...sure enuf, the appraiser made the #'s fit the offer, appraised $1,000 over the offer...after further investigation of the deal, we backed out, lost $3,000 in the process, BUT ended up with what God wanted us to have on Murvaul...sometimes, i need stronger hearing aids and so He has to perty much slap me upside the head so i'll listen to Him...

tell us your God Wink Mine's kind of right opposite. Long time ago, I woke up one Saturday with the urge to go to the lake. Now believe me, I'd like to go to the lake on a lot of Saturdays but it's a two and a half hour drive, one way. It's just not a great option for a day trip, so it pretty much never happens. The urge was strong and I loaded up and went. I had a Wrangler at the time and went WAY up a creek where few people go. This was intentional because I like to get away by myself and I knew of a small dam where I've fished a few times for white bass. Lo and behold I came across a stuck pickup truck in the middle of nowhere. Over a mile from the main road. It was a group of teens that had been stuck there all night long. Now you can chalk it up to a coincidence. But I believe one of them prayed for help, God heard them and sent me. Had them out of the mud and on their way in minutes.

I know a young man (younger than me lol) and he’s a mess . Hard worker but a hard partier if you know what I mean . He Is surrounded by friends and people that are a very negative to say the least . He just got a dui amongst some other charges. He’s a new dad as well.
Everybody asks me why I tolerate him and talk to him and invite him to things. I see a lot of myself in him and I feel like god put us in each other’s lives so that I can help him because I’ve been him and came out better on the other side . Uhh so far it’s not going so well but I know for a fact I am the only person that calls him out on his bs and tries to guide him plus he has plenty of potential.
But I’ve had a chat with the big man about him and he says to not quit on him so here I am lol. I can’t save the whole world and everybody . Every once in a while tho something or somebody gives you a overwhelming sense to help . And that’s the big guy giving you a “wink”

Many many years ago God winked at me and told me to say that "Sinners Prayer" ! God Forgive a Sinner, I accept the Lord Jesus Christ as my Savior. Amen! Best thing I ever did. I am just a sinner saved by grace.

I am just a sinner saved by grace. Amen! That night after leaving a revival, I had to get out of mom's car and go back into the church. Just felt like if I left that parking lot, I wouldn't get another chance.

We were in TN driving from Knoxville to Gatlinburg to meet family. We chose to take the back roads instead of the interstate. Felt we should. No explanation. Driving on a remote narrow road we came upon a woman and small child next to an SUV rolled on its side in the ditch. I helped the man get out of the SUV and we took them to their camping park they were staying at. They were moving from CA to NC and were headed to get some breakfast when a truck speeding down the road forced them off and they rolled. No serious injuries thankfully.

Was driving home with wife early morning, after a gig. Could faintly see taillights flashing on a car in a ditch on a remote 2-lane gravel road. Pulled over, walked to distressed car and there was a single occupant...an old, old lady, got her to roll the window down. Learned that she’d been drinking at the VFW, was toasted and ran off the road trying to make it home.
Car was stuck where the drivers side was wedged on ditch, but the passengers side had plenty of clearance. In fact, looked like the car could get out of the ditch fairly easily...but at that time of the morning, and the way it was wedged...etc., from inside the vehicle I imagine it looked futile.
Helped her out of the car and into ours. Went to get in the car and was going to back it out of the ditch. As soon as I plopped over onto the cloth drivers seat, her pi$$ soaked completely thru my slacks...all the way to my skin. She had clearly emptied her bladder of the VFW alcohol several times. My clothes weren’t damp...they were Completely soaked in old lady VFW urine.
