unexpected encouragement

God always knows best.

His timing is incredible how exactly right things fall into place!!

so i should be studying but i really really wanted to blog about this before i forget and just to share in hopes of it being encouraging to others.

so remember that post i did about going to the candlelight vigil that the LGBT resource center put on for the recent gay suicides? and remember how i wrote about one guy approached us afterwards and he was looking for a christian fellowship? well, that day, grace and i told him about aacf but he never showed up. and we weren't able to get his contact info so it was a fail :O(

BUUUUUT!! all of that changed today!! jenny, and i went to do Soularium [a survey used for evangelizing] near coffee bean and we saw this one guy by himself at a table. we weren't sure if we should approach because he looked stressed&like he was studying but we decided to try it anyways thinking maybe we can help him de-stress a little by him focusing on a picture survey for a little while :O)
welllllll, when he turned around, i IMMEDIATELY recognized his face but could NOT place from where. it started to bug me and i was really scared to introduce myself because i've had many moments where i have approached the same person before and they told me i already did the survey with them :Op quite embarrassing and due to my lack of memory.
anywho, once he said his name, i immediately remembered where i met him. and i was SO excited i couldn't contain it and shouted "oh my gosh! it's you! we met at the LGBT candlelight thingy, remember? and you never came to aacf :O(" and then, he actually remembered me too!! and he was sad saying he wanted to go to aacf but fell asleep and didn't wake up in time.
anywho, this time i made sure to get some contact info and his full name!!
i was SO shocked at how we finally found him!! grace and i were trying to find him. and look at God's timing :O)

AAAAND, if that wasn't enough, he actually came out to Epic tonight!! i was beyond happy!!! i told him i was sooo happy he came and he said he was too and enjoyed it :O) isn't that awesome?? i still can't believe it! i seriously thought we would never see him again. so crazy!! God totally had it planned out!!

there were other encouraging moments today too just seeing people step out and evangelize, receiving epic shirts finally&seeing our group all wear it in unison, having 2 people come to the FIRST prayer meeting for epic, and sooo many other things. God is awesome!!

He sure knows how to cheer me up :O]
