Today, I’m grateful for unexpected invitations that align perfectly with the intentions I quietly set in motion and for a God who doesn’t always work mysteriously, but methodically.
I received a message from a respected bank group asking me to chair a significant initiative—one that would put me in conversation with top economic policy makers. Fascinating. Who would have thought the “accidental banker” would be asked to do that?
Just a few weeks ago, I had shared with a leader I admire that I wanted—and needed—to double click into becoming an even more informed banker and leader. I asked her to coach me. And now, this opportunity shows up. I don’t believe that’s coincidence.
God knows how I learn best: not through theory, but through experience. By doing. By being in the room. This isn’t some vague divine mystery—it’s intentional preparation, precise timing, and purpose unfolding.
