The Availability Factor

Enjoy the story of the call of our speaker this week, Linda Poitras. Willingness. Availability. Yes. Banquet date gets a rain-check. Praying meeting in the ladies' restroom. Alaska. Little church and the spot where she heard God's direction. That's great because she had an amazing journey. Unusual. Sometimes uncharted and many times, unknown.

All night on a bench in the airport. Watched over by a doctor from India/ No phone. No telegram. Just elbows to get on the plane the next day.

Taxi down a dirt road. Where is this guy taking me? Only a post office box for the missionary. Hours later: Arrived. Slept seventeen hours. "Is she dead?," they thought!

No, but found the place where God knows she fit. Learned to listen to His voice when He said and says go, do, speak!

God makes the call.

Have sense to answer.

About the Podcast

Poitras Ponderings

Pause, Ponder, and Project

The Poitras family has many things in common. We speak. We write. We teach. We preach. We mentor. We lead. We counsel. We pray. We listen. We read. We learn. We encourage. We serve. We love. We interact. We enjoy. We hug. We each specialize in one or more of those areas but haven't got everything together. We strive! It makes for brilliant dynamics and a lot of fun. We are strong because we do life together.

But, in addition to all that. We pause. We ponder. We project.

It's a great mix we have in our lives. One more thing: we share. It's our joy to share the Poitras Ponderings!
