“I really think its a God-thing.”

“A ‘God-thing’? What is that?”

“Its when something happens in your life, and you look at it and cant explain how or why it happened, but you know there’s a reason for it. You know that God is doing something in your life, and it changes you. There’s no other way to explain it except to see it as a God-things.”

Yesterday evening I was hanging out with Ashley at Crimson Cafe. After hours of coffee and board games I thought it would be fun to go to Books-a-Million. I needed to find a fluffy book to read on my drive out to California. I had not seen anything in the Christian fiction section of Gospel Supply earlier that day in my search for a book, so I was still antsy for one. I’m picky about Christian fiction, its usually easier for me to find a non-Christian fiction book. I ended up getting “Confessions of a Shoppaholic” (thank you Carla). While in the mist of the search I was on the phone to Jason when I hear Ashley say “Hey Kerry!” I turn to see who “Kerry” was. It was Kerry from work whom I haven’t seen since he left . In the mist of my shock and excitement I hung up with Jason and gave Kerry a huge hug.

We talked to Kerry for a little bit and then his wife and beautiful daughter came up. I loved seeing them again as well. We talked about me moving mostly, but you could feel the elephant in the room. I smiled to hide what I wanted to say. Don’t get me wrong, I have forgiven any hurt feelings I had back in March. I’m still confused about all that went down and probably always will. Its the unanswered questions are what will always weights on my mind when I’m reminded of Kerry. But I was beyond happy to see him. I had the thought of wanting to see him before I moved but didn’t know how I would go about it. We exchanged a few emails right after he left, but that is as far as our communication had gone. So, to run into him and his family last night, when I could of been doing who knows what is just amazing. I walked out of Books-a-Million so thankful for God to answer an unprayed prayer.

If you haven’t had the pleasure of growing up with the Christy Miller Series by Robin Jones Gunn, you may not understand fully the meaning behind the phrase “God-things”. But I know they happen in all of our lives everyday, its just time to time when we open our eyes and become very aware of the presence of the Lord in our lives. That He showers us in His grace when we did nothing to deserve it. Id love it if yall would use those comments to share about “God-things” or make fun of me as yall usually do.

And to end on a completely unserious thought, I’m listen to “If I Only Had a Brain” Popular Genius style and I’m SO dancing in my seat like Chandler. I am a geek.
