The other day we had a mom call the BSU and ask us to go visit her daughter. She was from out-of-state (Iowa) and was having a rough time. When my co-worker told me about this and asked me to take care of it, one of our student leaders named Amanda immediately popped in my mind, and I told Kelly that I would have her visit this girl.
Amanda comes in a couple hours later and I give her the information and ask her if she could visit her. She said that she would love to, and she was actually going over to the those residence halls (aka dorms) later on that afternoon. Well, great! That was perfect.
A few hours after that, Amanda comes back into my office VERY EXCITED. She tells me the story — she went to this girls room, and the girl answered the door. She looks familar to Amanda, but they just keep on talking. After a couple minutes, Amanda and the girl realize they have met before– this summer at a Bible study in St.Louis…Amanda just got back from being in Spain for a year, and was participating in the last couple weeks of Bible study at her home church. Amanda’s friend, Joe, brings this girl to bible study one week. And now, Amanda shows up at her door, not knowing anything about her, and they quickly bond.
I just think that is SO cool when God orchaestrates things like that. God takes care of His children. We can be sure of it.
