Can You Hear Me Now?!

Meeting a Friend ..or.. Meeting Jesus at the Crossroads ..

Do I believe in #coincidence? Maybe if you asked me a long, long time ago I would have said “Yes”. But today, I say “Thank you God for making me turn onto this street so that I could stay on the road that You have laid out for me and my life”.

Today, I am practicing my #Sabbath. I was at home, still in bed, and just following the schedule of life instead of my #Excel spreadsheet when I received a message on Facebook. It was a #networking contact reaching out to me to finalize some details for an event. I looked at her message and noticed that her business name was attached. It so happens that she is currently working for an old company that I used to work for. When I inquired about it she simply asked if I was interested in coming back to work for #PremierDesignsJewelry. Ok, now before you roll your eyes like I did, let me just tell you that this is a daily conundrum of mine: “To Be or Not To Be”?! Like, I am so #humbled that #God has #blessed me with so many talents. And like you, as I’m sure the many other people that have #donated to “these talents”, I’m asking … “Kat, do you really want to get into yet another business venture, another license, more training sessions, more “I believe that this is it” moments”?! Right! That’s exactly what I said: NO!

#ButGodHadOtherPlansForMe

I had to finalize the details for the event anyways so we decided to meet at #Starbucks. On my way over since I knew that she would bring it up again, I had a conversation with God. It started off with me saying .. “If it’s Your will …”  but I cut myself off and simply reminded Him that I was hard of hearing and that He needed to flat out scream at me and tell me if I should even consider going back to this opportunity. So I park, walk into Starbucks and say to Him: “Am I even supposed to be here?”

When I get in line and order my drinks it so happened that my Starbucks gift card didn’t have enough to cover my tab, but no worries. I had a $50 bill tucked into my phone case. When the cashier saw it, he refused to take it because he didn’t have enough to change me out. Well, my extra cards were in the wallet that I had left at home because for goodness sake I was only going down the street to Starbucks hahahaha.. Long and behold the woman behind me had change for my large bill and was happy to help. The cashier, amazed, says “I have been behind the register for the last 4 years and I have never seen anyone have change like that. You (looking at me) must be really lucky. Talk about being at the right place at the right time”.

Alright, slightly baffled, I was not only #thankful for the kind lady, but was also taken aback by the cashier’s choice of words. Like, why would you say all of that?! Was that God “screaming” it out to me that I was supposed to be there?!

There were a couple of other things that happened throughout that #coffee / #chai chat that confirmed that meeting, but I’ll save that for another day. For now, I heard it loud and clear. By the way, the point of this entry was not to share whether I started a new business or not .. it was to reiterate that at your crossroads you are not alone. And if you’re open to setting your pride and/or “needs” aside, God will give you the best thing for you. #trust #faith #listen
