Two days ago I went shopping and when I noticed that the car besides
mine had a step, I left a rock to the driver.
One day after, I got this adorable mail from Patrice.

Thank so much for sharing your thoughts and feelings with me!
Dear Word Rock Giver,
Thank you for my beautiful rock! I love it. If it's okay with you, I would like to tell you the story that led up to me finding my rock. Until today, I had never heard of Word Rocks. On January 14th, 2015, I awakened early (5:30am) to go to PIHOP (Pacific International House of Prayer). This is a special place I go to, periodically, to connect with God's heart. It only occurs on Monday and Wednesday mornings from 6-8am. I had a beautiful time worshiping God, praying and writing in my journal. He showed me some areas of my life I needed to surrender to Him; I did that.
I was headed back home after I left the prayer room. I was contemplating whether or not I had time to go to Trader Joe's before my exercise class. I was praying about it and sensed God telling me to go right then and not wait until later. Even though I had a tight window of time, I felt like He was telling to me that I would have enough time. I believe He knew about the surprise I would receive and the timing was important.
I went straight to the back of the store to say hello to my friend Stephanie Thurlow, the lady who gives out samples. I then picked out a beautiful orchid and birthday card for my friend Georgette who I was taking out to lunch that day to celebrate her birthday. I was not in the store more than 10 minutes.
I quickly dashed out to my car so that I could stay on schedule. As I went to get into my car, I saw something bright and beautiful. It was a rock with a bird painted on it. The bird had a cute heart balloon being held by it's beak. I picked it up and looked at it. I was wondering how this incredible and delightfully wonderful surprise had landed on the running board of my car. I was so relieved when I read on the back that I could keep this amazing treasure.
I don't know if you pray or not before giving out these gifts, but I know for sure that the Father directed your steps to my car. I feel that this rock was a sign from heaven and a confirmation of the work He did in my heart while I was in the prayer room. I love birds, and I love bright colors. I will hold on to this rock and remember it was a symbol of God's love for me. The Bible says that, "God is a rewarder of those who seek Him."
Thank you so much for this gift. I am truly honored to receive it.
If there is any way that I can pray for you, please let me know.
Blessings,
Patrice Reynolds"
