Interesting Interview

God is everywhere -- and He connects His people through the strangest of methods and the most interesting of ways. Last Friday, I conducted an interview for a magazine profile on a CEO who had started her own company under unusual circumstances.

Through our time together, we had a good chat about her life and what inspires her and makes her tick. But it was only at the end of the interview when her response to my last question really encouraged me.

I had asked her, "So what parting words would you share with our readers?"

To which she replied, without knowing my religious inclinations, "I would tell all women to read Proverbs 31 in the Bible. Whenever I am down, I read that chapter for inspiration and encouragment."

In the capacity of our interaction, which was purely a business interview for a magazine, she did not know I was a Christian too. Yet, she had publicly brought her faith into the limelight. Everytime someone takes a stand for Christ, I am encouraged!

Anyway, to cut the long story short, I got my story for the profile piece, but more than that, I got something only God could have given -- a little bit of encouragement, a little bit of delight, and a little bit more faith in knowing that there is a Kingdom of believers out there. We are not alone, and wherever we go, Christ becomes our common ground, a platform to connect that is unique only to Christians.

PS. Did I mention that now the work part is done, even though she and I had met only for the first time last Friday, we've decided that we might go cycling together? :) Communion of the saints!
