Telemarketers are a blessing?

I had an interesting phone call the other day! I had been praying that God would continue to encourage and excite Tim and I in the coming journey and all the planning in the meantime.....and He did....again.

So the phone rang and I picked up....a 1-800 number. I sighed and felt prepared enough to chat with the telemarketer....selling Fido phones. Because Tim and I are leaving in September, we can't sign on to another cell phone plan, so I just listened to the lady's way cool accent.

After about 3 minutes, she reached a pause in her scripted offer and I said, "Hold on, hold on...can I ask a question?" She said, "uhhm...yeah." I asked, "Where are you from originally?"......silence.....

Then she said, "You mean, my nationality?"

I said, "Yeah, you have a great accent! Where are you from?"

Ya know what she said? She said, "I'm Filipina! Why?"

Oh let me tell ya!! From there we got into a long conversation about her life and she even taught me a few words in Tagalog...the native language of the Philippines. She was excited to hear what we'd be doing there and confirmed the need for midwives in the southern areas of the country. In the end I prayed for her that she would sell lots of phones and she laughed and said that she felt she'd already made her quota. God is funny. I think God had her phone my house just to bless me. God does that kind of stuff. He is sooo good and sooo faithful.

Is God showing you how much He loves you in obscure ways today!? Let me know! Thank you for commenting and many blessings!
