Victories

Saturday, Dec. 12

I almost didn't go to a Christmas production at Crossroads Church because everyone had backed out. I took a nap and tried to come up with excuses not to go. For some reason, maybe because I knew it would be fabulous, I couldn't and decided to just go.

On the way there, I prayed that I would find someone I knew who I could sit with. I almost didn't believe it would happen. I walked up and down the aisles looking for someone I knew. I saw one lady but there was no where to sit where she was. So I continued down the aisle until I thought I heard someone call my name. I turned around and saw a lady I knew, Kristy. She asked if I had a seat. Of course, I said I did't. The thing was, there were only three seats and they expected three more people to come. I didn't want to take someone else's seat, but she insisted that we could all squeeze in.

So I had to walk around to the other side to get in. I didn't even see the woman sitting beside Kristy. Lo and behold, it was my friend Kim whom I had been trying to get ahold of for weeks. Only two of the other people came too, so we didn't have to squeeze in. And they were good seats, five rows back in the center.

Kim and I had so much fun. We were talking and making each other laugh. Her phone had erased my message when I called her a few weeks ago. So she put my number in her phone. She had been having chemotherapy for the past six months and was rather out of it. She was just getting back into the swing of things.

God is good. That was the second time that kind of prayer was answered and in an even better way than I could have imagined. I was so glad I went by myself. The show was awesome and I got to see my friend.
