Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
Recently I went to Walmart to buy some jelly. They didn't have what I wanted but a stock clerk came and asked if she could help. I was so surprised. This must be some new kind of policy at my Walmart store. When she couldn't find Strawberry in the brand I use, I bought 2 Cherry. I went on shopping.
She found me in another aisle and had with her a young man who was the manager in charge of ordering jelly. He offered to order that jelly for me in Strawberry. I thanked him and gave him my phone number.
A few days later he called me. He got the jelly and he said if I could come to store before 6 pm he would have one of his workers put it in my car for me. I told him I couldn't be there before 6. I felt an immediate burden. My work, writing, was interrupted and I also felt I shouldn't let him down. I felt torn.
After finishing the writing I was doing on one of those books we published with Amazon, I felt pretty tired. But I also felt I needed to go to Walmart not to let this young man down. I decided to lie down and rest (I am 78) and maybe I would recover enough to go to Walmart. After about an hour in bed I felt I could do this. I forced myself to go to Walmart. On the way home, I prayed, asking God to please help me stay out of these fleshly traps.
I have a very strong sense of not letting anyone down ...I didn't want to cause the door to be opened in this young man's life for Satan to speak evil of me to this young man and to discourage him because of me saying things to him such as ... "See ... it does no good to help anyone. That woman didn't even pick up that jelly."
So I prayed for God to help me stay out of traps such as this one ...
Once God said to me: "Stay free ... and serve ME."
