I was incredibly blessed this past weekend

Earlier in the week I talked to my manager about possibly switching a shift with someone as I forgot to state that I wasn't available after 5 pm that coming Saturday. Unfortunately I could switch with my co-worker as she wasn't able. When Saturday came my manager decided to be kind and allow me to go at 6 instead of 6:30. I was ever thankful even though I would still be late for the 5:30pm practice. So at 6, I'm running out the door to catch my bus to save as much time as possible.

Then suddenly I heard my name being called and I thought that it was one of my co-workers at first and I was a tad irritated considering she knew I was rushing out the door. Here it was someone from my church who I consider a friend. She offered me a drive home, but I told her I was actually heading to the church so she drove me there. On the way to the church I saw my friend's brother going the opposite direction.

When I got to the church I saw that everyone was in the foyer where we were about to start. So I dropped my things and got in place. As we got up to the front during the first song I got acknowledgement from the choir director as she noted that I was earlier than I thought. Within a few minutes I saw my friends brother return. After we were done practicing my friend and I were talking and I pulled out my phone to check it. I saw that she called me, so I said you called me. Then she told me that her brother came to pick me up. I was shocked and stunned to say the least. So I told her well I have to thank him. So I did and he told me that he was standing inside the door looking for me. A co-worker went up to him to ask him if they could help him. He just asked if I had left yet and they told him I had. So he came back to the church.

After we all left and got home I talked to my friend again. She told me more of how things went that night. Apparently her brother came up on the stage to ask her if he should come and get me. She told him to try calling me through her phone. I obviously missed the call, but then he came anyway. It was totally him idea. Also I found out why my friend who drove me to the church was in the area. She was shopping and needed a break so sat by Starbucks having her treat. Then she thought about me and decided to wait to see if I needed or wanting a drive home. What a great way to bless someone.

I felt sooo blessed that evening going home.
