My husband and I are in the middle of searching for a new church and several months ago he was out town so I decided to attend my sister’s church with her.
It just so happened that the day I went to her church, they had an amazing singing group performing in the service. That was the first time I had ever heard of Calling Levi and I was immediately captivated by this family group of two sisters and their husbands and the powerful time of worship that they led in the service that day. On top of that, while they were introducing themselves to all of us and showing off photos of their family through a slide show, I remember leaning over to Janine and whispering “Wow, they have an awesome photographer taking photos of their family!” I left church that day completely blessed and renewed by the music and message they had shared with us.
Flash forward to the week we announced the Amy Wenzel Workshop Giveaway on i heart faces when I totally and completely had a “God moment” happen. One of the big jobs at IHF is that we go through every single entry, every single week. On this particular day I was going through the entries to Amy’s Workshop Giveaway. I tried to read through each one (which was an amazing experience in and of itself) and then I began to correct any links that were not inputted correctly. I happened to come across an entry that spoke about a Missions Trip the photographer had taken with her sister as part of the singing ministry that their family had.
Ding, ding, ding!! Everything I was reading was ringing major bells inside my head and I began scrolling all over that blog trying to figure out “Could this actually be the same group that I had seen singing at my sister’s church?!”
Lo-and-behold, it was. It was late at night but I recall writing my sister an email that basically said “OH MY WORD!!! Guess who just entered the Amy Wenzel Workshop Giveaway on IHF!!!!!!” I was a *bit* excited. 🙂
Amy made the choice of her Workshop Giveaway Winner and life kind of went on from there…until I was sitting at the Meet-and-Greet Social Event that Amy and David put on as part of the Workshop when my second “God moment” occurred. While chatting with all of the nice ladies I had the pleasure of meeting there, two familiar faces walked into the room…Stephanie and Tammy – the two sisters from Calling Levi. I found out later that someone had donated the money for one of them to attend the workshop and their ministry covered the cost of the other seat so that they could both attend.
Isn’t it incredible how God works?
They probably thought I was completely nuts but I pretty much ran over to each of them and explained how I knew them and how awesome it was to see them walk into the workshop (I had no idea who was going to be there other than Amy, myself and Karin who had won the free seat.) We all were struck by the amazing “coincidence” of us just happening to choose the same week to attend and had so many awesome conversations throughout the whole experience. It was just one more thing that made my entire week as fantastic as it was!
Stephanie, Tammy and I are now friends on Facebook and have had great fun keeping in touch since the workshop ended. And today I am beyond thrilled to introduce their music to all of my friends through a giveaway!
