Is it a coincidence or is it God? Many times you might ask yourselves this similar question. Just a couple of days ago, we put a bedroom suite on Craig’s List (an on-line sales ad). One of our first inquiries was from Kathy. We talked to her and set up a time for her to view the furniture. During the phone conversation, she asked why we were selling the furniture, and I told her that we were moving overseas. She quickly said, “Oh really, where?” I told her Singapore. She then went on to tell me that they are from Singapore. They have lived there for 14 years. They are ethnically Taiwanese, so not Singaporeans, but ex-pats such as we will be. We enjoyed visiting with the father and two girls when they viewed the furniture and came back the next day to pick it up. The mother and youngest sister are still in Singapore. The family is setting up a home base in McKinney, TX. The two oldest daughters are going to universities in different states, while the youngest daughter attends an American high school in Singapore.
God has a way of orchestrating our circumstances. He is so good!! I praise Him for bringing familiar to the unfamiliar. It was such a blessing talking to this family and meeting our first friends in Singapore!!
