Thursday, Day 26

Today I had to take the van to get the oil changed before our trip south tomorrow. I went to Walmart, and chose to wait across the parking lot at Starbucks. As I was in line to place my order, I was SURPRISED to I recognize one of the baristas (I am not a regular at this Starbucks). As I approached the counter, I asked her if we knew each other. She said, "Yes, from the Nazarene church." Angela (also called Patty) was in Lidia's Sunday School class six or seven years ago. As Angela spoke, I remembered her family, asked about them, and then asked her about where she was worshipping. It seems that work is her priority right now. From this meeting, I had to wonder what God might have in mind for the reconnection. Was it encouragement for one moment? Was there some future ministry with Angela that he was calling me to? One thing for sure: it was more than just getting the oil changed.
