A Meaningful Moment at the Bookstore

I was minding my own business at the Family Christian Bookstore, waiting to check out, when a young woman looked straight at me and said, "God loves you!"

She caught me by surprise, but I responded, "Yes, I know. That means a lot to me. How long have you known the Lord?" That led to a lengthy dialogue in which I learned that she was 20 years old; she had accepted Christ at age 12 but in her own words, "I backslid but God brought me back when I was 17".

She plays the guitar, used to have her own Christian rock band, and writes music. And would you believe her first name is "Harmony"? I told her about our musicians and how they are always looking for new talent. I asked her permission to get in touch with Jake so he could tell her more details.

And when I mentioned to her that we were going to set up a recording study, her eyes lit up like a Christmas tree.

I don't know where this will all lead, but for today, it was a "God thing", right in the middle of a bookstore.
