Not a coincidence!

So, um, my voice of conscience was speaking to me tonight. It told me to call up this girl who recently announced her pregnancy over Facebook. Now that in itself is not unusual, except for the fact that she's decided to raise it as a single mom in a Baptist upbringing (unwed mothers are TABOO in the Baptist church). Oh, and I've never met her in real life, I just friended her over Facebook since she was part of the Baptist Collegiate Ministry and therefore knew a lot of the people I knew.

So I called her up. She was like, who is this? After a short explanation of who I was (I mentioned Da Noise story), she asked if I had anything important to say. I told her that the Lord put it on my heart to call her up and tell her something.

If you have a son, you should name him Joseph, because Joseph means "God will increase". Your son will increase both your happiness and troubles for the greater good.

There was an, "Omigosh, you just made my day! I was thinking about naming my child Joseph if I had a boy..."

I'm going to go out on a limb and say that was not a coincidence! ^_^

Uh, hi random person! Coincidentally, my name is Daniel! ^_^

And yeah, this burden is largely her own. The church can only do so much. It'll be interesting to see what happens. In the meantime, we'll be praying for her.
