I left the house for a hair appointment, telling my husband I’d be home soon. In the short amount of time I was gone God directed my steps in a spectacular way.
As I pulled into the salon’s parking lot, my phone dinged with a text message from the hairdresser. She was running late. She asked me to sit tight, she would be there soon. I spent the time waiting in the car, reading emails. Shortly,a vehicle pulled in next to me, parked, and entered the establishment next to the salon. The establishment was Get Real Ministry, a ministry for girls!
Get Real exists to encourage, equip, and empower girls to Get Respected Educated Able and Loyal in Christ! I had tried several times to connect with Get Real, but each time, never caught anyone there.
With a book in hand, I went inside to introduce myself and to pitch The Immanuel Quilt; to inquire about speaking at one of their meetings. Turns out the woman and I had met years before at a Christian youth camp. She told me my timing was incredible. They were looking for someone who could uniquely present the gospel to the girls for a special event. It had nothing to do with my timing, my timing would have had my head in a wash bowl.
Some days don’t go as planned. They go better. When God directs our steps, wonderful things can happen. Accept each interruption as a gift from God.
