Alyssa's ramblings...

A cool God story.

Last Thursday, I went to the shopping centre with my sister during the day. I bought a shirt for Grace, but as I was unpacking everything when I got home, I couldn't find it! I'd given it to her to hold when she was in her pram, so she must have dropped it somewhere at the shops. I was a bit upset, and considered going back to look for it, but the girls were asleep. When my husband came home, he went to bed too, so I lay down to try and get some sleep. I was so so SO tired, but couldn't sleep at all. Finally, I decided to do the weekly grocery shopping (at about 7pm), and look for the shirt while I was there.

I went to the customer service desk to ask if anyone had handed it in, and while I was waiting behind some other people, the lady spoke into the loudspeaker 'Tarryn ___, please come to the customer service desk outside Wallace Bishop'. I told her, 'That's my sister!' Apparently she'd left her wallet in the shopping centre and someone had handed it in. I called her, and asked her to come down and pick it up, which she did.

They would have put the wallet in lock-down if she hadn't picked it up by 7:30 that night. She could have been looking for it for AGES, at home, in her car, everywhere she'd been, before finally asking at the shopping centre. And who does that, 'I can't sleep, so I think I'll go grocery shopping!'? That was fully God.

I never did find Grace's shirt, by the way, but it's a small price to pay for saving my sister a whole lot of stress.
