God is big enough to let you know He exists. Tell me what you think of this that happened to me last night: I went out on a date with the younger sister of one of the guys that grew up near my neighborhood. I left for college at 18 at UF, then Jax, then 28 years in Miami. I had not seen this young lady or her brother since she was 13 or so when I left for college. We met online not knowing that we knew each other before we decided to go out. But I told her during our talks that I think I know her. After discussing it for a few minutes we concluded that she was the little sister of one of the guys from a neighborhood near mine. I did not tell her who I was and even though she surreptitiously went on to my fb page she still did not know me since she was so young when I left. So I go to get a haircut for the date. My barber had an emergency and had to close early. So I went to another barber that I had used previously near my house. There were three barbers there, the owner, the kid that cut my hair the last time I was there and another guy that I didnt know. The owner was cutting the hair of a toddler with plaits, just trimming him. So after asking the owner if I could get my regular discount I waited for him to finish the kid which should not have been long but he took forever. I had said to myself Im not letting this kid that cut my hair the last time cut it again. But he finished long before the owner and the other guy and was just sitting there. So I said Ok, dude you wanna cut me for the discount? Since he had charged me double the last time and made a wise crack about my hair, I was set on not letting him cut it again. The last time I had asked him to cut the grey and leave as much black as possible and he said, Oh, you want it bald? As to say you are grey just face it, lol! I didnt get angry but I did think it was a little brash since he didnt know me. But during the course of the conversation we had discovered that I knew his uncle who grew up in a neighborhood near me. So now he says Ok Ill cut it. So I start wise cracking him about the grey hair thing in front of the other barbers. We are all laughing and joking and talking about the music and musician that was playing. Incidentally, the music was Bobby Womack. We discussed his great impact during his era, not knowing that I would wake up this morning and read that he died at about the time we were listening to him and discussing him. Now when the kid finished my hair the kid says Yeah I remember the last time you were here and you were saying that you know my uncle (whose name he called). I was awestruck for a minute because I had forgotten that conversation but remembered it now. I also remember the young lady telling me that her brother was the guy whom he had just mentioned! So I say Son God works in a mysterious way. I cant tell you how now but I will tell you later. So he says No tell me. I say, All I can say is I think Im going out with one of your cousins tonight. He says, Naw. Are you sure you are not talking about his sister?!!! I say, Whats wrong with his sister? Sensing that there was something there. He then said in a very exclamatory tone, Thats MY Momma! How in the world and why in the world would the God of our fathers work it out that I would unknowingly get my hair cut by the fruit of the womb of the woman that I was taking out??? Still smh!!! Btw, she called me today:)!
