A God thing
Today we visited my grandmother, and on a whim the girls stayed with her and took a walk while my son and I drove the 30 minutes to Trader Joes–we were out of a lot. 🙂 We were supposed to go last week but that didn’t work out.
As my husband later pointed out, this was totally a God thing.
Issac and I wandered through the store, getting more than we planned because we kept finding cool things that Rach has been missing out on–like pot stickers, egg rolls, veggie sushi rolls, and so on. We did manage to not buy too much suggary stuff (most of the cookies stayed out of the buggy:))
Finally we got in line and started to pack our bags (IKEA bags are AWESOME for this). Behind me I heard, “Heather?!?”
I turned and saw a friend from college whom I haven’t seen since my wedding–11.5 years ago. (I only had a few friends in college–four that I can think of and none of them did I stay in touch with when I left.) It turns out she lives near that Trader Joes and has a son whom she is considering unschooling. I gave her my phone and website so hopefully we will be in touch, but how cool is that.
I love those moments!
I hope she does get in touch with you. It would be so wonderful if you are able to encourage her.
Hi Heather!
It’s funny, I just got in touch with a friend from high school yesterday! She is also a homeschooler, and I just started homeschooling my kiddos for the first time this week!
It must be a God Thing…He knows us newbie homeschooling Mom’s need encouragement from friends!
Definitely a God thing.
I’ve always wanted something like that to happen when I’ve gone back to my old hometown – but has never happened. It’s a small town and yet I have NEVER run into anyone that I used to go to school with (maybe everyone has moved away to the “big city” nearby). Sounds fun!
wow! that is soooo cool!
That is so cool! I love it when things work out in such a quirky way that you KNOW it was God, no questions asked.
