Discounted Groceries with Priceless Conversation

I went to BB's yesterday.  BB's is a treasure chest full of possibilities.  From organic produce to diapers, to raw sugar, and vitamins you can find a plethora of items that could be 50% off the normal retail cost.  It is simple, no frills, and no time or energy wasted on creating an aesthetically pleasing shopping experience that you would get at Whole Food's or Trader Joe's.

As I entered I had expectations of what I may or may not find on the mental list in my head, as I walked down to the first aisle I saw a familiar face.  A face I have only come to know only a little while ago, but a face that is so welcoming and kind, and I could not just keep walking.  We stopped and talked for a half hour.  In the conversation we talked life in the spiritual realm, we were women that did not have time for small talk of weather or how good our kids are doing in school, we jumped into the depths of our lives.  God's presence was in BB's.  Each of us stood on either side of the aisle while others passed and shopped around us, they were able to tune into the conversation if they would have chosen to do so.  We talked the seasons each of us are in with our heavenly Father and where we had been in season's past.  We spoke of struggles to know the answers to the question "What's next God?" and "What is your purpose in this?"  I found commonality with the things she was sharing and I walked away praying for her as I prayed for the answers to both our questions.  She gave advice she didn't know she was giving by sharing pieces of her story.  I felt refreshed knowing other's have walked struggles of their own, are still walking them but continue to look to God.
