Serendipity

This is a picture of inside my head. Some people have organs that look like walnuts inside their skull. I have a network of fuzzy colors with frayed edges. I think I may have started the day with something approximating a working brain, but by the end of the day, all that was left were threads of frazzled, fuzzy colors. Pretty, isn't it?

Let this be a warning to you. NO ONE should edit a book for 12 hours straight. In the middle of my marathon editing, I got an email confirming an interview next week. I cannot tell you who I am interviewing - because that would spoil the book, and I know you will ALL want to read it once it is published....But anyway, he is a miracle. He is the perfect ending to my book, and I didn't even know he was alive until last week. It was an amazing confluence of events that plopped him in my hemisphere.

Anyway, I had been editing all day, and still not feeling completely myself after the killer illness I had for a couple of weeks. I had a massive headache. I received his email, confirming our interview. I read past his name, to the
email signature. It was a verse from the Bible, Joshua 24:15 , "As for me and my house, we will serve The Lord." I almost dropped my computer. If we have a family verse, that would be it.

I wrote him back and told him the time for the interview worked for me as well, and noted that the verse at the end of his email was our "family verse".

"It is our family verse too," he told me.

Not only did he appear out of nowhere, and make my book a thousand times better, but he LOVES God! A fellow believer! Sometimes life is so beautiful, so filled with stunning serendipity that it is hard to fathom. God's exquisite engineering of every detail is continually constructing an arrow to heaven that pulsates with the message, "Here I Am!"

*********************

“Now therefore fear the Lord and serve him in sincerity and in faithfulness. Put away the gods that your fathers served beyond the River and in Egypt, and serve the Lord. And if it is evil in your eyes to serve the Lord, choose this day whom you will serve, whether the gods your fathers served in the region beyond the River, or the gods of the Amorites in whose land you dwell. But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.” (Joshua 24:14, 15 ESV)
