Compassion Episode 4

Okay, the saga of God leading me to serve Him through Compassion's ministry continues. Why couldn't I have just listened the first time and not waited over a year and a half?
So, we're still at that Bebo Norman and Aaron Shust concert. After Aaron Shust had finished singing, Bebo Norman came onstage and began talking about Compassion. I don't remember exactly what he said during his presentation about Compassion, but I do remember what he said right at the end, right before he stopped for an intermission. He encouraged everyone to stop by Compassion's table in the back, and said (basically), "I know some of you are probably trying to decide between buying a CD and sponsoring a child. Please, if that's it, I don't want you to buy one of my CDs"... then he said that to make sure no one did, he would give a free copy of his latest CD to anyone who sponsored a child that night. You have to understand that the sale of CDs is how artists make their living, and there was probably a LOT of people that sponsored children that night. It was a sacrifice. The audience, of course, went wild at this announcement, but Bebo immediately quieted everyone saying (again, I don't remember exactly) "Please, stop. It's not some great thing, it's just my heart."
During the intermission was the first time I told my mom about God leading me to sponsor a child. Unfortunately though, I had stalled and still hadn't sold my bow. Shortly afterward, we returned to our seats, several minutes before the concert started again. Suddenly, I heard the lady in the seat behind me asking, "Did you get a CD?" I assumed she was talking to the person next to her, and wondered why no one answered. Then she asked again, "Did you get a CD?" This time, I turned around and looked, surprised to see that no one was next to her. Again she asked, "Did you get a CD?" "Are you talking to me?" I asked doubtfully, after all, I'd never even seen this woman before. "Yes," she said, pulling a copy of Bebo Norman's newest CD from her purse, "Did you get a CD?" "Uh, no, I didn't..." "Well, here, I got the free one, but I'd already gotten one," "Are you sure?" I couldn't imagine that she was giving this to a total stranger; it seemed like she could have found a friend or family member to give the extra copy to as a gift. Maybe it was the Lord's leading. I felt Him telling me, "Okay, Christi, now you've got the CD - the gift that was supposed to be for sponsoring a child - now do what you were supposed to have done to get that free CD, and what I've been telling you all along was My Will,"
I never caught that lady's name, and I never saw her again after that, but I'd like to say a big thank-you to her for the way she blessed me, and probably without knowing it, encouraged me to follow God's leading.
