He goes before us.....

Every day, I walk past a guy selling papers - on a street corner near to where I work. I've seen him every day for two years - and we always say 'hello' or have a chat in the mornings. It's cool.....

Last week - I was going through my bookshelf, and came across a copy of Run Baby Run by Nicky Cruz. I re-read it this week on the train - and this morning, as I stopped by the corner, I asked him if he would like to read the book.

He took it - and saw 'NICKY CRUZ' in huge letters on the front - and said 'I heard Nicky Cruz, at Crystal Palace when I was 15 years old'. Ok - then I was surprised..... He then went on to tell me that he went to Spring Harvest (Skeggy!) when he was 18 - and used to play drums in two churches in London....but left, and hasn't been back for some years....
I then shared a bit of Bill's story - before heading off to work.

Ever get the feeling that God has gone before us? I certainly got that this morning! God moves in mysterious ways - and often when we least expect it!

Then......if that didn't surprise me enough....whilst working this afternoon, my colleague suggested we put some music on - and suggested 'some of that funky Christian stuff you've got'. As the 'acting boss' this week - I was only too happy to oblige!! So....we had a great afternoon (and got loads of work done) - listening to Delirious and Hillsong!
