The hair-cut: A divine appointment

Isn't it a blessing and humbling to know that God is at work in our lives at all times? Even in the midst of seemingly mundane times. Even during times that we give very little thought or credence to. I was blessed to be shown this earlier this week.
It was a normal Monday. I was sitting at work and got the thought "you know, I think I'm gonna go get my hair cut today." This may seem typical, however I had recently decided I was going to let it grow out. But this morning, I had some urge to go get it cut.
Typically I would make an appointment and go over my lunch break. This particular morning, I got held up at work and didn't even have a chance to call until five of twelve. I thought "great...no sense in trying to go now." As I finished out my work day, I just kept thinking about getting my hair cut. I didn't bother to call to make an appointment because I really don't like stopping places on my way home from work. However, by the time I got in my car to go home, I was reaching for my cell phone to call to see if I could get in.
Now, many of you may know what it can be like to try to get an appointment at the last minute.
I called, a woman answered, and I asked if I could get in there in 15 minutes. She says, "well... can you make it an hour?" I replied "well, I'm right near there now so, probably not". She took a few seconds checking something and said "OK, just come in. We'll try to fit you in."
This whole time I thought I recognized the voice on the other end of the phone. So I asked if it was the person I thought it was. Turns out, it was. She was the wife of an old band-mate of mine that had moved out of the area a few years ago. Once I got there, she began cutting my hair and we began talking. As it turns out, she is now in the midst of a divorce (served to her by my previous band-mate) and she is having a tough time. She mentioned that her family and church friends /family have been a great help, but some days are tougher than others. I came to find, and I believe it was no coincidence, that this day was one of those days. She said that morning was really tough for her and she was just praying that God would help her through the day. The more we talked the more it became evident. Finally she said "I really think you were meant to come in here today to talk with me. It has to be God."
See, if I would've gone at my normal 12 o'clock time, she wouldn't have been at work. She had just arrived at work 45 minutes before I called. By the time I left, she expressed how much better she felt and how much the encouragement and words I brought had helped her.
Praise God for His sovereignty.....His complete sovereignty!
One man's hair cut is another man's answered prayer!
