Mystery solved!

No school! There's ice every where but it is cozy inside with warm heat and sweaters and hot tea! So, I get to be with the girls all day. There seems to be new interest with them to cook, so perhaps we'll try to cook a bit today!! We needed a day at home, apparently!

Our staff gets each other presents for Christmas...then at random times, we distribute them to each other's offices...Monday morning Guy called to say to come to his office at 9:30... I thought he wanted to talk about Christmas services or something...so I got a cup of coffee and went over. To my delight, he'd brought in a message therapist for 10 minute sessions for each of us as our Christmas presents from him...HOW COOL! It was wonderful! And, so thoughtful!!!--And, exactly what I needed that day!

I have a freind, who has become 'closer' to me in recent weeks...when we talk, time passes quickly, too quickly, actually! We set a specific time to talk on the phone, a week and a half ago..she had a window of about 50 minutes for this...our conversation lasted almost 2 hours...it was worth it...she refers to me as her coach...I learn many things from her, right now, though, I need her to affirm that my theology of God & life is authentic and on track--And, she assures me that it IS!--Which turns out to be exactly what I needed this week: affirmation!!

Funny how things work out like that!--The coincidences of life are so much closer together when they are prayed over, and given to God, there's no mystery there, it's God, in His timing being faithful!!!! And, I'm here to remind anyone who reads this that HE IS FAITHFUL!!!--I can't wait to see what God does with 2009!

We had a conversation with Matthew the other night about coincidences, and we decided we needed to call them "God Things." We love those! I heard a wise woman once say, "Fate, Destiny, Coincidence -- they all have a name -- GOD!" Have fun with your daughters on your snow day!
