The Answer Wrapped in a Fortune Cookie

Beyond a fortune cookie

This feels too personal to share publicly, but if it brings glory to God—if it shows that His unseen hand is still at work—then it’s worth the cost of my privacy.

After losing my husband over a year ago, nothing has eased the weight of grief.

Two days ago, I felt overwhelmed by loneliness, emptiness, hopelessness, and helplessness. In that moment, I shared a vulnerable note on Substack that ended with: “I need a sign again from God.”

I wasn’t expecting one.

Today, I had lunch with a church sister. After the meal, we each received a fortune cookie.

Mine said: “Love is on its way.”

I’ve never paid much attention to fortune cookies… but this one felt different.

God truly knows my heart.

Was it just a coincidence? Or a sign from above?

God can use any method to answer our prayers—but often the ones we least expect.
