When you least expect it.....

Saturday was a planned day.....the bank, the pool store, the bookstore and hopefully some time to enjoy the pool.....

I started my morning with the Lord and a hot cup of tea. Thursday evening Bible Study was over (so sad about that - what a wonderful four weeks) and I could now turn my full attention to Tuesdays. I began by starting to read the lesson. I read the first page and when I turned to continue it felt funny, like the words weren't flowing and it didn't make sense. I thought "oh Dianna you really need to concentrate!". Then I realized a couple of pages were missing. I went to the internet to see if somehow I could acquire the missing pages...no luck. I thought maybe I could just purchase the book used but it would take too long to ship.....so I added the bookstore to my to do list. Now I LOVE the bookstore! It's a place that I can literally stay for HOURS but it's also VERY dangerous to my wallet!! So I don't go often because, for some reason, I cannot exercise restraint and I already have more books than I could possibly read for MONTHS. But I was "bothered". I would be out of the state Saturday AND Sunday and not sure if I would be back for church Sunday night. I just wouldn't be able to study and do Tuesdays lesson OR wouldn't have enough time to study....what was I to do..........First I needed to clear my thoughts and get on with the day as I have a tendency to dwell on that which I may not be able to fix. :-)

So I headed out to the bank, the pool store and then on to the bookstore. It was there that my day changed! I unexpectedly but happily ran into Beth at Borders! Actually, we were both walking in AT THE SAME TIME!! We chatted and I told her why I was there and vice versa. Then I offered to give Beth a ride home but since it was lunchtime we went to Panera first and it was a great lunch, great conversation and the ride home....well, with Beth.....ALWAYS GOOD!

When I got home I was anxious to catch some "rays" and do some reading but the nagging thought of not having my full lesson for Tuesday really bugged me! I knew I would be sorry I didn't have it when I wanted to study bright and early Monday morning. So I called Tammy and then I was on the road again to Tammy's to pick up the completed lesson. I had a wonderful chat with Tammy and then I was on my way again.

Though I didn't have my lesson to do that morning I still had a God filled day! I had more fellowship than I could have even planned for and having it come totally unexpected was just such a joy, such a God gift. Thank you God for the unexpected and thank you for always knowing what I need and when I need it! And thank you Beth and Tammy for great conversation and blessed fellowship!

Have a God day!!
