Greg and I had a meeting this morning at Panera Bread in Alabaster.  It was rescheduled from Tuesday due to the school delays.  We arrived a few minutes early so we grabbed a table.  As I sat down, there was a guy talking on a cell phone at the table beside us.  I recognized that the young man was a guy that was in the Alabama Allstate Youth Choir that we were a part of in 1993.  (I think I was accepted into the choir based on good behavior and not my singing ability, but he was definitely accepted because he can sing!)  When he got off the phone, he simply stated that I looked familiar.  I agreed and remembered his name was Ronnie Freeman and I introduced myself.  As he began to talk with Greg and I, he shared that the Lord had called his family to Germany and they had moved about six month ago.  He had performed a concert in Alabama to raise money for his ministry and he was just passing through Alabaster.  I shared that we had sold our house, most of our furniture and we were in the process of selling our other assets while raising support.  He simply stated that he had just gone through this entire process.  He encouraged us that his wife and three kids were adapting well in Germany and that the Lord was taking care of them.  He then prayed with us and his prayer completely blessed our hearts!  At the end of the prayer, our appointment had arrived and Ronnie grabbed his stuff and left.  Little did we know, we had two appointments this morning. 

 

Now, let us think about this for a moment…I have not seen this guy since 1993…he resided in Tennessee before moving to Germany six months ago…he is in Panera Bread at the same time we are after having to reschedule our original meeting.  Coincidence?  I do not think so…only God!  All I can say is, “Thank you, God, for this divine appointment, encouraging words and beautiful prayer.  Wow!”
