Listening to God.

I met a guy on the street today that I am certain God led me to.

I was waiting on the street corner to meet a friend for dinner and there was a guy playing an old beat-up guitar and I kept feeling impressed to talk to him. But I kept telling myself, "Well, my friend will be here any minute. I don't have time to talk to him now." Then my friend called me and said she was running late and wouldn't be there for 5-10 minutes. I took that as an obvious sign that God really did want me to talk to this dude. So I went up to him and asked what song he was playing. He said it was called, "Satan Lies to the World." I asked if he was a Christian and he said he was, and then I noticed he was wearing a cross necklace. So I said, "Hey, me too." And he said he had noticed because I was holding my Bible. I asked what church he went to and where he lived and all that and I told him about 24-Seven, and he was like, "Seventh-day Adventist, huh? So you go to church on Saturday." I asked what he knew about Adventists and he said he had been reading The National Sunday Law, which he found at a bus stop. Crazy!

I was amazed that this random guy I approached wasn't only a Christian, but that he was also exploring the Sabbath. So we exchanged e-mail addresses and I hope to hear from him soon. I wish I told him where 24-Seven meets and when we have services, but it didn't cross my mind. He said he used to be homeless for 2.5 years (he was a young guy too, like early 20s) and I'm worried he doesn't have regular Internet access.

But I pray and trust that God will finish what He started.
