Divine appointments

I don't like appointments. They're rarely enjoyable. The usually have to do with painful teeth stuff or medical pokings or tense relationships.

But I had one of those encounters today that we call a "divine appointment."

I ran into and ended up having a conversation with someone who left our church about a year ago. There was a little awkwardness there. But there was a brotherliness as well. We were able to talk candidly and I was able to bless him to his new church (even though he kept saying that it was a temporary sojourn and that he'd be back some time).

I wouldn't have chosen the meeting. I don't like digging up things that make me feel awkward. But I guess that's why God takes things out of my hands and makes the appointments himself.
