Default I was thinking today about when my turning point was...

I turned up to church one Sunday morning feeling a little dazed from the night before. The sunday children's club had been studying the ten commandments and had been making 'stone' tablets out of card, one for each of the commandments. Their work had been put up on the walls of the church. I sat up in the balcony and was eye level with the 1st 'stone' tablet. It read 'You shall have no other gods before me.' Underneath the children had stuck various cuttings out of magzines, images of money, houses, cars... but the most prominent and largest image was a bottle of liquor stuck slap bang in the middle. I burst into tears...

That was defo a 'GOD STOP'. Southern introduced me to God Stops a long time ago and it is amazing how often it happens just to let us know that He is there.

Yep...Tea is correct!
God Stop 101:

When God speaks throught other people, circumstances, nature, music, His word....
The effect is always the same...we stop dead in our tracks.....and if we belong to Him, tears come because of the deep love He has for us that He would take the time to speak!

And................that could have been a picture of a bag of candy, cake, cookies...anything that we abuse our body with............

Love you guys!
Nancy

Was just re-reading some of my old threads - this bit stood out for me today. I think God wanted to remind and reassure me tonight that I belong to Him, sometimes we just need that reassurance. Thanks for that post Nancy.

The tears are welling up again...
