You’re too sweet, Emily. 🙂 But I was genuinely happy to run into my precious friend again!

And even though I *know* full well that God is in the details, it still blows my mind when I see it happening. He continues to catch me off guard. 🙂

Thanks so much for sharing.

That’s such a perfect example of God at work, both in Sue’s life and in yours. It’s so affirming when we see these things happening. I love this story, Beverley.

One morning, whilst i was still at work, it was my turn to coordinate the ward during the shift. That meant it was up to me where everyone would work, but i also had to make sure i had the right mix of levels of staff to take care of the patient’s. As it turned out there were enough of us that day to leave me as an overall spare, which meant i could work wherever the other staff needed me to. Mornings were always very busy discharging some and admitting others. One team were getting slowed down by their patient’s needs and so i stepped in and went to admit a lovely lady who was called Sue. As we talked, she began to unpack and out of her bag came a church magazine. Although i don’t normally point out to patient’s my religion, i asked her which chapel she attended and told her which one is was at. It turned out that that very morning she had prayed was reassurance that she would be alright, her reply on learning we were members of the same church was, ‘now i know i’ll be alright.’ God had given her the reassurance that he had heard her prayer and she was alright.

I so appreciate you sharing the story of losing your siblings, Carol. The loss hurts regardless of our age. Heading over to your blog to respond more….

Ooh, that’s my number 1 excuse: they probably won’t remember who I am. But you’re right that I remember who they are, so it’d probably work in reverse. Another excuse shattered; thanks, Natalie. 🙂 Time to be a big girl.

That’s cool. Usually God does have a reason for us to bump into someone, doesn’t he? Sometimes we figure it out–either for them or for us; sometimes we never know. I want to be okay with it whether I understand it or not.
