Last Sunday, as I sat in anticipation for Overflow to begin, I had no idea what to expect. Several people expressed interest in attending, so I prepared as if we would gather in a virtual living room. As I set up my computer and ensured the software was working, I quickly realized I needed to be able to contact everyone quickly to ensure everything was working on their end. In a rush, I sent a quick email letting everyone know I was in the meeting.
As the time came to begin, one person tried to join the meeting, left, and rejoined again. We greeted one another, and I explained that we would talk while waiting for the others. Our discussion took a different route when it became clear that others were probably not coming. I cannot begin to express the blessings that poured out of that conversation.
My new friend was halfway around the world, but it felt like he was just across the room. So as I sit here preparing for Overflow again this week, I am embracing the phrase, “Expect the unexpected.” I have no idea what God has planned for today, but I obediently show up, ready to love and serve all who virtually walk through my door.
Please pray for God’s wisdom and guidance as I lead Overflow and continue working on the podcast and the community.
