Here's what happened tonight!
I got back from church with my roomates and realized my phone was missing. So we called my phone. A random girl kept answering with loud music playing in the background. Rebecca and I drove to our church and kept calling the whole way. The girl continued to answer but kept hanging up. When we arrived at the church we realized that no one was there, so we drove back home.
On the way, the girl with my phone called us on Rebecca's phone. She was obviously a teenager who had found my phone at the public library that day and was texting all her friends now. I was getting angry because I thought I was never going to see my phone again. I mentioned that I wasn't being very Christian as I kept praying to Jesus that He would help me find my phone.
So we got back to my house and parked in front of the neighbor's house like we always do. We waved to the neighbors we hadn't gotten the nerve to meet yet as Rebecca was calling one last time before we gave up. I saw a teenage girl on the porch answer a phone in her hand and the echo of the hello rang in Rebecca's phone. I jumped out and exclaimed "you have my phone!!!!" In between extreme happiness and annoyance, I got out "THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR FINDING MY PHONE!!!!" And "Next time you find someone's phone, tell them where you're at so they can find it"! I found out the young girl's name and told her mine. She was completely flabbergasted and slowly wandered back into her house after handing me the phone. Poor girl.
Imagine that! MY next door neighbor had found MY phone at the Public Library in Louisville, KY. I ran over again to her house and met her father. We exclaimed about God's goodness together and I told him he had a good girl and to tell her thank you again.
Who are the characters in the story? A naughty little teenage girl, and an unChristian acting sales associate. Who is the hero? The Lord Jesus.
Love you, God.

Isn't it funny that how God always uses the "unheroes" to teach us all. I was thinking about Matthew 1 and Tamar, Rahab, Ruth, Bathsheeba and Mary...
all women who definitely weren't the hero, but who were needed to bring Him to this world.
