Last month Jen and I flew into Victoria, BC for a few days of meetings. Our plans had changed last minute, and we’d called our friend Matthew (Mattidude of Gratidude fame) and left him a message asking if we could stay with him that first night.
We arrived not knowing if and when he’d get the message. (His cellphone was on the blink)
We were on a tight schedule, arriving from the airport just in time for the first meeting. We parked the rental car and were walking the five blocks to our destination, when I asked Jen how she got involved with the organization we were meeting with.
“It was Matthew and Brad who first told us about them”, she said. We were 2 blocks away and walking fast in the brisk autumn air.
In that moment, two great big arms enveloped us from behind… it was Matthew!
Victoria is a city of over 1/4 million people…
What are the chances that we’d bump into the very friend we were trying to connect with???
“I was inside a coffee shop and just saw you two walking by” he exclaimed. My jaw was on the sidewalk!
When I contemplate the magic of these types of meetings, even for a moment, my mind gets boggled…
Who guides our steps so our paths cross??? We think we’re in charge of our lives, but our angels and guides, they’re behind the scenes guiding and prompting, getting us to tarry just a bit longer at this corner, or speed up a bit at that corner, so our paths cross and our eyes meet and we go “Hey!”
I’ll tell ya,
think about it even a little and you get humbled…
