A few nights ago, someone I had not spoken with for several years came to my mind. I found myself wondering whether she might be interested in reading Finding Hope in Suffering or attending the book-signing event. I did not contact her—I simply went to sleep.
The next day, while I was running an errand, I heard someone asking a cashier where she could find a particular department. When I turned around, much to my surprise, it was her!
She was just as surprised to see me and said, “Sona, I was thinking about you. I’ve missed you.”
I could hardly believe it. “I was thinking about you last night too!” I told her.
She immediately asked, “What were you thinking about?”
I explained that I had been wondering whether she would like to come to my book signing or read my new book. Her face lit up. She had not known that I had written a book, and she told me how much she loves to read. I sent her the invitation, and now she is excited to attend!
Sometimes, when someone unexpectedly comes to our mind, it may be more than a passing thought. Perhaps God is placing them on our heart because He is preparing a connection, an encouragement, or an opportunity to touch their life.
The next time someone comes to your mind, pause and pray for them—and perhaps reach out. You never know what God may already be arranging.
The 30 day countdown has officially begun! I look forward to seeing what else God will do as we prepare for the Finding Hope in Suffering book-signing event on October 1 at iVenue LA in Glendale.
You are invited if you would like an interesting and hopeful event.
