Coincidence? I think not

Yesterday we went to the Ayala mall (It is so different from the US - I LOVE going to the mall here. Marei calls me a mallrat). Anyhow, we were walking, I told Marei we should go up to the 4th floor, where we had never been before - primarily because it was just a food court, mostly fast food. Seeing as how I try not to eat much fast food or feed it to my family, he said, are you sure, and I replied, yes, let's just go up there. I didn't know why we were there, until, someone jumped up and said to me, "Are you Leela's daughter?" Crazy, I know. My mom's co-worker of several years is from Cebu. She had told my mom she would be here visiting, and needed my contact info. I emailed it to her weeks earlier, and she hadn't gotten it. She had wondered the night before we ran into her how she would possibly be able to find me with no contact info. How? Well, we just ran into each other in this city of 3/4 of a million people. Amazing! So Emmalina and her husband came over today for some dinner and it was so lovely to have them. Everything happens for a reason! Thanks Emmalina and Joe, for the wonderful visit!

That's an amazing story. And you're right, I don't think it was coincidence either.
