Mr. X Shows Up for a Job—4 Minutes After Thinking of Him

Eric J

Just this past weekend (August 2025), I was on the way to a property I manage, hoping to connect with a tree trimmer. I opened my phone and came across the name of an individual—“Mr. X.” I thought about calling him but decided instead to try a new contact who’d recently been introduced to me. I sent a text to the new person and, about a minute later, arrived at my destination.

Within three to five minutes of my arrival, Mr. X pulled up to the property right next door. Incredible synchronicity (though aren’t they all!?)—I hadn’t spoken to him in at least ten months, since he’d finished a different job for us across town. He had no way of knowing this new job was even needed.

We greeted one another, and in that moment it was clear to me: I was meant to offer him the work. To me, synchronicities are little signposts, pointing us toward the divine path.
