I had the privilege of hearing an amazing story the other day.  It still has me shaking my head and smiling and giggling.   You are gonna’ love it.

Our amazing God.

He cares.

He works behind the scenes.

And He does it in extremely extraordinary ways!

Why does He do that?

Well, I’m guessin’ it has something to do with the fact that then we can ONLY give Him the credit…cause it could never, ever happen without His divine orchestration!

Seriously!!!

So here’s what happened:

My Abi called me the other day to say that there was a young woman trying to get ahold of me.

I jotted down her phone number and a day or so later I was able to call her.

As it turns out, she lives in Virginia and her mom had occasionally attended the church we pastored there.  So this young woman, who I’ll call “C”, had in a round about way heard about Abi flying out to Virginia to do a friend’s wedding.  {If you are new to hanging around here, Abi has a very successful photography business and flies around the country to do photo shoots and weddings, etc.}

C had been online looking at Abi’s site and in turn came across Emma’s blog.  Now, since C was a young girl she has felt a calling toward Uganda.  When she found Emma’s blog, she was more than intrigued!

She wanted to get involved and help raise funds for the treasures that Emma currently serves and will be serving in the future!

So C started to pray, “I think this the ministry to help with.  But would you give me a clear sign?”  She told me that she prayed hard.  She even fasted.  Yet, she did not hear a word.  She said that she began to feel frustrated and finally said, “Lord, I have fasted and prayed, yet you have been silent.  What’s going on?”

About that time, one of her machines broke where she works.  She needed to call in to the company and have someone walk through the process of fixing it over the phone.   The center that she called has 2,500 people working in it.  So the woman who answered was just one of the 2,500 employees.

C said that the woman was so helpful and so easy to talk to.  They had a great conversation as they worked through the steps of fixing this broken machine over the phone.  The woman was such a blessing to C.  Eventually it was time to re-boot the machine.  While the machine re-booted, C asked the woman, “Your accent is so pretty, where is it from?”  The woman responded, “I am from Uganda!”  C almost fell over!

She knew God was working!

But wait, it gets even better!!

“Uganda?  Really?  Uganda?”

“Yes, I am from Kampala, Uganda.”

C went on to tell her that she had been praying for a sign from the Lord about getting involved in the  ministry of a young woman who had just moved to Uganda.

Before C could go any further the woman responded, “That’s funny.  Just the other day I was online and came across a young woman who has just moved to Uganda.  Her name is Emma.  What is the name of the young woman you are talking about?”  

Yes indeed!

This woman from Uganda, had already heard of Emma and been on her blog!

Can you believe it?

I am still shaking my head!

What are the odds that in our big ol’ United States, a woman in Virginia with a broken machine, calls a call-center in California with 2,500 employees and ‘randomly’ gets the ONE employee who is from Uganda…and then that ONE employee is not only from Uganda, but has been on Emma’s blog?

Faithful God.

Reminding this silver-haired Mom of Many that He is on the throne, He is working behind the scenes and He definitely has Emma’s back.

And He is still on the throne, He is working behind the scenes on YOUR behalf and He definitely has YOUR back.

Rejoice with me!

Faithful God.

Always.

For you and for me.

If God is for us, who can be against us?”
