name confusion

So it all started last week when I called someone to confirm what time we would be leaving the following day. A few weeks before we had planned a meeting to visit another city and follow-up on some new work there. When I called this person, she told me she could not go to this city because she had to work and then she was going to visit her family, but she would call me on Monday. I was thoroughly confused. This wasn't typical of this person, she was acting very strange. Anyways I was thankful for the free day this gave me and enjoyed the opportunity to relax a bit.

Then on Monday morning I received a phone call from this same person and we planned to meet for coffee after she was done with work that day. Then I received a phone call setting up a meeting the next day, with the person I thought I had already talked to that morning and was planning to meet that night. Do I know two different people by this same name? Maybe it was all the same person and she called me back to reschedule tonight's meeting and change it to tomorrow...but she didn't mention talking to me earlier or rescheduling. The confusion set in....and horror....did I call the wrong person to check about our meeting last Friday???

So the time was approaching to meet the unknown person for coffee...maybe she would not show up. That would mean it was the same person I talked to the second time. I started to think very hard if I knew anyone else by this name. The number was programmed into my phone, I must have met this person before, but who could it be? I waited anxiously. My phone rang, it was her, I went outside...and a random person greeted me. Oh no...who is this...think Lynn, quick. As we walked to our seats I remembered possibly how I knew this person, but I was not sure. For the next hour I struggled to keep a conversation going and pull out as much information as I could about how I knew this person.

As it turned out, my first guess was correct. She is a friend of a friend's and I had coffee with her once last summer. Just one time! She was surprised that I remembered her and called her...I never told her it was an accident. I take it all as part of God's plan to get in touch with her again. We plan to see each other more often now. I now know that I know two people by this same name...and have them identified better in my phone.
