Now that a brief bump in the road to the Philippines is over.... I want to tell you all about it so you can get Pentecostal and shout and dance about God's AWESOME provision for those who step out in faith..... let me explain....
Last week on Tuesday night.... Mandie and I were at Wal-mart.... her phone rang and it was the other person who was gonna rent my house.... She said that she needed to talk to Mandie and I.... Mandie and I kinda looked at each other and both of us some how knew that she was about to back out of renting my house...long story short she did... that would leave Mandie all alone there and it just wasn't possible for her to make the payment all alone.... So she needed roommates and I needed renters fast..... no panic though.... God was/is/will be in control.....
Now.... the Jed of 6-7 months ago may have hit the roof..... but I didn't.....the Lord has been growing me in some areas..specifically in my conflict resolution skills (ie. no fussin, cussin, fightin, etc.) :0) ....I still have a ways to go...but i digress....
I told the friend of ours who backed out that they day she told me she would rent the house that the Lord knew she really meant no.... He knew that she would tell me 2 weeks before we leave, and He knew that I would need someone else..... He was NOT surprised....
Knowing that kept me very calm..... I just felt that He gave me an added dose of trust in Him for that moment..... and man did He show out and show me why to trust Him....
After we found out, Mandie immediately called 2 of her good friends from Sunday School who were overheard discussing moving out on there own...... Both girls came during this past week and have agreed to rent.....
By renting to 3 girls instead of 2....their rent is less....and I know that my house payment is more than taken care of......
He knew all along that there was a better way....He knew that our plan was a good one, but He wanted to show us a better one.....
Don't you just love that about Him...... It doesn't seem to make sense at the time, but after the clouds have cleared and the dust has settled what an amazing, providential, sovereign God He proves He is.........
