Before they knew it, hours had passed with them sitting in a God-ordained setting. Neither Kendra nor Gracie would have ever guessed Michelle had changed her stripes. From the story she’d shared with the ladies who used to be her nemeses, Michelle had stuck to the saved life once she and her husband divorced. The trio sat together showing that all things indeed happened for a reason. Kendra, never missing a beat, and shared with the ladies what her mother had once shared with her.

“God allows us to live long enough to straighten up, repent, and ask for forgiveness. He allows us to right our wrongs before we leave this earth.”

“Yes, He does,” Michelle agreed. “Thank you ladies for inviting me for coffee. This is still weird.” Michelle chuckled, losing her nervousness.

“Only to unbelievers,” Gracie added, grabbing Michelle’s free hand. “This is something that only God could have ordained.”

“Exactly.” Kendra sealed the deal.

“And, ladies, if you two could please not bring up my obsession with my husband ... my ex.” Michelle playfully rolled her eyes at the two. “Especially to Stoney. She thinks I’m a little off-kilter with the whole idea. But I prayed about it and I—”

“Did you really?” Kendra asked with deep questioning brows. “Did you ask God if you were truly making the right decision for you? I mean, Michelle, you are a beautiful woman, a judge, honey. And you just up and moved from your city to a man who left you?”

Michelle didn’t take it personally. Stoney had always shared how blunt Kendra was. Why sugarcoat the truth?

“Of course.” Michelle hunched her shoulders, knowing she hadn’t wholeheartedly prayed to God about her actions.

“And what did He say? I’m saying, in His approval?” Gracie questioned with her chin resting on her hands.

Without answering, Michelle just pursed her lips together and nodded. She had felt so at peace with what Gracie had asked that she knew it was questioned out of sincerity of her heart. Not even aware of the tears that had built up in her ducts, when she blinked her tears made their home on her cheeks. “I just don’t know how to do this.” Michelle no longer tried to hold in her cry. “I’ve been manipulating people and my relationships all of my life. N ... now, I have no one. I’m afraid of being alone ... of dying alone.”

The two ladies moved their chairs in closer to their new friend. “Don’t do that to yourself, Michelle,” Kendra insisted. “You are not alone. Just think about it. This very hour God had you sitting in this convention center ... and He had me wearing these too little shoes.” The three laughed through the tears.

“God has a way of doing things, of bringing people together. Even if you don’t have Keithe ... it may look crazy to some on the outside, but you do have us.” Kendra was sincere.

“Ken’s right. You have us. It doesn’t matter if you’re in Houston. That’s nothing but a hop, skip, and a jump for us.
