A night out

Hello Kathie and thank you for your site. I am a Christian (Australian) living in London and trying to understand more about God-incidences, having had some confusing ones happening recently. Generally, I wonder what is the reason for them? I thought to share one:

Recently I was at The Globe Theatre, London one night with a friend. The theatre is modeled on a Shakespearean theatre, with upper and lower floors and the theatre was packed. At interval by friend and I went into the courtyard. Amidst the crowd I thought I saw someone in the distance who seemed familiar… someone I had known in Fellowship group in Sydney in my teens.

“Ridiculous” I thought, “he’ll be with his wife in northern NSW”. Still, there was something very familiar about his movement. He left the area for a while, but seeing him was ‘bugging me’. He returned to the courtyard and I thought “well, here I go making a fool of myself” and went up to him and said, “hello, I think….” then – indeed my friend from Sydney!! – turned and hugged me. We exchanged contact details and met the next day to catch up.

That we met was, I think, quite incredible – a God-incidence. He was only in London for 2 nights, this was the only night he went out in London and we happened to be at the same theatre – of all the theatres in London – and that I happened to recognise him in a crowd. He, his wife and I had just fallen out of touch over time, for no especially reason, but it’s lovely to be in touch with them again.

About

It was a church sermon in 2005 when I first heard the term ‘God-Incidence’, not to be mistaken as a co-incidence. Things happen for a reason and God does show up in every day activities. It is my hope that this blog will help demonstrate that for you.

My apologies if you did and found you couldn’t. I hadn’t realised WordPress had made some changes till recently. Commenting has been switched back on and I would love to hear from you!
