Church, Starbucks, Divine Appointments, and Exploding Burritos

Today, in the few hours I have been awake has been one of the best days of my week so far.  I have had many interesting conversations mind you all week long and learned a number of  life stories that blew my mind, but today for whatever reason  has been the best.  Maybe it's because my story starts and ends in a Starbucks, where I am currently blogging from.  

Sunday is the day to do "The Buck"  (my pet name for Starbucks).    My day started with my RA knocking ever so sweetly on my door to wake me for church, since I had overslept!  ahhhhh.   lol.  I decided then, half way to church that today I would bless God over coffee instead of in a congregation.   It was more of a thought  with no serious intent to it other than the caffeine fix I so desperately needed after having been up much later than anticipated.   Whose lovely face do I see when I walk in?  The owner of Zulas! I find it amazingly sweet that the owner of our very own favorite coffee shop  can be found in Starbucks every sunday when her store is closed.  I guess this goes to show, you have to take time to be served as well.   We chatted it up for a while about life stuff and she just realy was an encouragement to me in the moment-a breathe of fresh air. Following this I got my java but before I could even open my laptop who do I see but Lindsey!    One of the most beautiful smiling faces on the planet and I hadn't seen her in almost a year!      We sit down, chat it up, and have meaningful conversation on everything from the  church(in general) to the birthing process and exploding burritos(something you do not want to know the meaning behind!).  We are back in touch and  I have to say I can't help but feel this was a little God sendin the middle of my day despite the late start.  Sometimes, good things come to those who go to Starbucks :)

Lol, as a matter of fact, maybe they come in general to those who take the time of day out needed for a good cup of coffee.  I went to Zulas the other day to say hi to a friend at work and wound up with a free drink,   free cake for like 50 people(which the guys in the dorm demolished late), and the chance to dabble on a complete strangers guitar- all because I happened upon someones 80th birthday.  

Anyways, life is good.    Hope anyone who takes the time out to read this also takes time out sometime in their week just to breath in and take in some  simple joys.
