Coincidence at a Christmas Party


God winks at a Christmas dinner with a group of my girlfriends?
Yes, God winks!  I was recently at a Christmas dinner at Brio at "The Greene," an outdoor shopping center.
As my friends and I sat around eating and of course talking, a name came up in conversation for the second time, a local business coach.  Several of my friends are working alongside this person and have begun to see some "ah ha" moments.  These insights are helping them move forward in their goals and building momentum.
Is it a coincidence that I had heard this coach/mentor's name twice in the last week?  I don't think so.
A few days later, I would hear this name a second time from another friend over a text conversation.  I thought, "I should at least meet this this person." 

God winks at a Christmas party through a person's name.  YES!! I met with this person over the lunch hour several days later.  Even getting to the meeting had God winks all over it.  You see my boys had a two hour delay and I had to cancel our appointment at 10 am.  I recieved a text later in the morning that said, if I could make it, there was a cancellation at 12:30.  I, of course, took it, immediately seeing the hand of God at work.
I know God is at work helping me clarify my goals and fulfill His purpose.  Whether I meet with this coach once, several times, or several months, I know it was a divine appointment.
                 Do you believe in coincidences?
                 Do you see the hand of God (God winks!) in relationships, casual or long term? 
Relationships and friendships, I believe are the thread that sews the tapestry of our lives together. God intends to sew for a divine calling and purpose!
I heard it said one time that on one side of a tapestry is a beautiful picture and on the other side an array of threads overlapping and seemingly "chaotic."  In reality, those threads build a beautiful tapestry!
The "threads" of your life: relationships, jobs, joys, sorrows, memorable events, etc... ALL play a part in the tapestry God is weaving.  God sees the finished, beautifully woven tapestry.   Trust God in the "winks" He provides, in the "coincidences" of life.
Let me know of your Christmas party/dinner God winks!  I would love to hear them.
