I was totally speechless

One night at dinner in Kenya, I met Dean. The first remarkable thing about Dean is that he is completely blind but still manages to travel all over East Africa (he's from Dallas). The second remarkable thing is that Dean heads a ministry that builds wells in Tanzania, Kenya, and Ethiopia. I thought wow, what a coincidence, we need to build a well on our property in Ethiopia. Furthermore, his engineer, Bob, was in Tanzania and was headed to Ethiopia later in the week. Dean left for home the next day but I managed to get some contact info about Bob and fired off an email. He said, yes he was coming to Ethiopia and he gave me his cell number and the cell number of their Ethiopian national so they could hook up in Ethiopia with our director. I flew back to Ethiopia a few days later and I was standing in line at customs and noticed a guy wearing one of those Christian witnessing bracelets. I asked him if he was on a mission trip, he said yes. I asked him what he was doing, he said I build wells. I thought wow, another coincidence, two well diggers in Ethiopia at the same time. Nope, it was Bob! How is this possible, the guy I have been emailing and trying to hook up with our director is standing right next to me! I was totally speechless. We managed to introduce him to our national director and they are going out to see about building a well on our property on Saturday! The other cool thing is that the town of Dukem has been without running water for a month! I'm talking a whole month for a whole town without running water. We are praying that Bob may be able to help with that as well.

I don't know why these kind of things surprise me, they happen all the time. I think maybe I have a too small view of God. But after meeting Bob at the airport, it just might have grown a little.
