i love devine intervention....

yesterday - was a very unique day for me.

we slept in {which is common for Sundays - considering we are totally warn out from weddings the night before} and did a few things around the house and wrote some emails.

wait.

that doesn't sound any different.

then, just after 1pm I left to get a hair cut! Before heading up to Brooklyn Park I stopped at the Caribou Coffee near our house

{again, also not out of the norm}

But this time.... it was....

I waited in the car a bit extra because I had texted/called Leanna and Ash to see if they wanted Caribou {that's who I was going to see for the haircut!} It was really busy at this Caribou {also unique for an early Sunday afternoon}. So I semi-anxiously waited in line. You see, I didn't want to be late for me haircut!

The lady {later to be announced as Sue} started making small talk with me about reusable mugs and punch cards. Then, when she went to order and pay - she sorta, stuck around..... and paid for my drink. She kindly said... "I just want you to know that Jesus love you - and you too!" {She said the second part to the darling cashier girl}.

At this point, being quite tired and rather emotional {considering it's day 3 - aka - emo day of my period} I got really teary eyed and told her how much she just blessed my day!

So continued to talk as we waited for our beverages and as we were finishing up our conversation she looked at me so kindly and said "I just have to say this, I just really feel led to. God has always wanted a daughter like you."

There have been few words to touch my heart as much as those. That is the sweetest thing I have ever been told.

Not just because this stranger told me.

But that is how God feels. About each one of us.

My heart is overwhelmed just thinking about that. We are each so wonderfully and perfectly made.

And God has always wanted a daughter, just like YOU.

Just let that sink in. God knew I'd need that today - and forever.

So tuck that away in your back pocket. Remember it. Cherish it, and call on that thought especially when you need an extra warm heart hug on days of feeling cloudy and sad.

God has always wanted a child just like YOU

Oh, and I got a hair cut - and it is wonderful : )

Love,
