Kairos Moments

Building a Discipleship Culture describes kairos moments in this way “A kairos moment is when the eternal God breaks into your circumstances with an event that gathers some loose ends of your life and knots them together in his hands.” With that said, what is one kairos moment that you will always remember where God broke through into your life?
