Life's little coincidences

       A few weeks ago I told the Pastor's wife at the church we attend occasionally (it's not our home church, but it's closer to our house and we kinda like it better anymore) about our coffee shop idea and she suggested we talk to the worship leader at the church. We did just that, and met her for lunch yesterday. It was good and fun, and more comfortable than I expected, but also kind of funny.
       Oddly enough, she and I do the same job. We are both nannies! And as funny as that was it was even weirder when we realized that our husbands do the same job, for the same company! So we had a good laugh about that! It's strange when things like that happen, but also nice, it gives common ground, a place where we can go okay I know where you are coming from. I think it's so important to find common ground with people, a place to relate to and understand them.
      We had a good time yesterday, and she was able to calm my fears and help me refocus on things. I'm no longer staring at the big picture going 'Oh my God, what are you getting me into!' But I am able to look at things and go, this is what we are doing this week, and next week will be this. I am so grateful that I was told to seek help from her, and even more grateful for the help she offered, because honestly it's kind of above and beyond what I expected. I am looking forward to the next time we get together, hopefully soon.

Luke 10:30-35
In reply Jesus said: “A man was going down from Jerusalem to Jericho, when he was attacked by robbers. They stripped him of his clothes, beat him and went away, leaving him half dead. A priest happened to be going down the same road, and when he saw the man, he passed by on the other side. So too, a Levite, when he came to the place and saw him, passed by on the other side. But a Samaritan, as he traveled, came where the man was; and when he saw him, he took pity on him. He went to him and bandaged his wounds, pouring on oil and wine. Then he put the man on his own donkey, brought him to an inn and took care of him. The next day he took out two denarii^e and gave them to the innkeeper. ‘Look after him,’ he said, ‘and when I return, I will reimburse you for any extra expense you may have.’
