The Good News from Pedicure Chair

Recently a young lady who is struggling with life and her lifestyle, told me of her encounter with God at the most unlikely place.  She was fired from her job for being tardy and even though she knew her employer was justified to take that action it still took her into deep depression.  She spent one full day in the bed with the covers over her head and pain in her heart.  But the next day, the single mother of four realized she had to get up and get going and so she got her hair cut, a manicure and a pedicure.

When she entered the nail salon she was met by a man with tattoos and piercings and she really didn't want him to touch her. But then again, he didn't know her and so when he asked how she was, she let it all out and told him her life was in shambles.  Much to her surprise and delight this man told her God was there for her and that she needed to let go of the past and push forward into the future. She said it was if God Himself was talking to her and guiding her.

That encounter would have been a blessing enough but then the lady sitting in the next chair said she had overheard the conversation and while listening called in a favor...she had set up an interview for my friend with a new establishment in town.

"When?" she asked.

"As soon as your toes dry!"

And so my friend went to an interview and is waiting to be called for the second one.  God works in such a crazy way sometimes when you least expect it. You just never know through whom He will talk to you.
