Just Talk Moment

We’ve been going through the series “Just Walk Across the Room” at Christian Community Church for the last few weeks.  One of the things we’ve been challenging people to do (and has been challenging to me) is to look for opportunities all throughout the day, wherever we are, for potential “Just Walk moments.”  The thing that we are finding is that if you look and you PRAY, those moments aren’t nearly as scarce as we sometimes think.

Yesterday, a day when I was home most of the day with Eva, I had a moment.  I was on the phone with a customer care rep from Apple to try to sort through some issues with my phone.  At one point in the call he asked for my email address.  A little later, while waiting for my phone and computer to sync, he asked me what the “cccn” in my email address meant, and a “Just Walk,” or in this case a “Just Talk,” moment appeared.  We spent the next few minutes talking about what I do, the differences between teenagers and adults in church, and had a really nice conversation. The conversation didn’t lead to any “deeper” spiritual conversation, but at the end he simply said, “that sounds really cool.”  As I replayed the whole conversation in my head over and over again, I’m pretty confident I did exactly my part.  There wasn’t some dramatic moment or invitation, just what I feel like I was supposed to say and do.

That’s what “Just Walk moments” are.  Us playing our part. Walking when we’re supposed to walk. Talking when we’re supposed to talk.  Sometimes those moments will feel more exciting and dramatic than others, but each one is significant and vital.
