Unexpected Connections: How God Uses Small Acts to Touch Hearts

I’d like to share a heartfelt blessing that deeply touched me. After publishing my second book, I found myself at a full-service gas station one day. A kind and cheerful woman came out to pump my gas, and in that moment, I felt the Lord gently nudge my heart to give her a copy of the book. I’ll admit, I hesitated at first—I wasn’t sure if she’d read it or even appreciate the gesture. But I reminded myself that God’s plans are not for me to question, only to follow.

Like grades on a gas pump, with God always choose "premium"

A few days later, I returned to the same station. To my surprise and delight, that same woman came out to help me again. She told me how much she appreciated the book. Feeling inspired, I told her I had a copy of my first book with me and offered it to her as well.

With a little laughter, I asked, “Did you really read that book? I might have to quiz you!” She smiled and said, “Go ahead—what part?” Then she started sharing details and key points from the book. It was clear she had not only read it but had truly absorbed its message.

Since then, we’ve developed a meaningful connection, all thanks to those books. Knowing that someone took the time to read my work and was blessed by it means more to me than any spot on a bestseller list ever could. Moments like these remind me why I write—not for recognition, but to touch hearts and share God’s love.
