It may be hard to believe but I actually entertained the idea of quitting going to coffee shops. The thought occurred to me that I could drink coffee at home and be more productive while saving money But that idea was quickly dispelled in less than 24 hours.
Friday evening my friend Alexey from Ukraine messaged me asking to meet at the coffee shop with his friend who could translate so we could talk about future ministry. We sat there until midnight talking.
Yesterday while I was at the coffee shop, I saw my friend Diego from Brazil, which allowed me to find out the plans for him and his wife and baby boy to return to Brazil. I also met a group of young people from Nigeria. Then I met four young women from Ukraine, one grew up here and the other three are new refugees. It gave me the opportunity to share with them about how Jesus can understand the trauma they experienced and that they can go to Jesus in prayer for help and healing.
Friday evening and yesterday were reminders for me that the coffee shop is a place where I meet people whether preplanned or spontaneous and a place where I have divine appointments. So no I won’t be quitting coffee shops anytime soon.
Today after church and lunch with friends, I will return to the coffee shop prepared to do some writing and also ready for whatever Jesus has planned for me there.
Thank you for reading. God Bless.
