Nov 9, 2006 - A good book, a bad cup of coffee, and a dear friend

Let me say it again, God is good.

I'd like to share story with you.

I recently had to have an uncomfortable conversation with a friend. And due to geographical and time constraints we were forced to have this conversation over the phone. And I feel it's important to point out here that I HATE talking on the phone, especially about important issues. This time was no different, and our discussion left me feeling rather uneasy.

That night I felt uneasy and restless so I decided to go for a drive. I left the house and started to drive aimlessly, but then I got the urge to go to Borders, which is nothing usual for me. I made it to Borders and planned on sitting by myself and reading. But as I was standing at the café I turned to see my friend walk in. Now it's by no means unusual that either one of us would be at Borders at any particular time, but that we both felt the urge to be there at this time, on this night.

We were able to talk a bit more. I know I left feeling a lot better, and I hope she did too. So glad we were able to say goodbye face to face.

I have a million other stories like these, as I think most of us do if we look for them. But sometimes I forget how good God is, it's nice to be reminded every now and then.
