God is so full of cool stories… must share more.
#1) [TODAY] So… we are heading to Florida, and scheduling this trip has befuddled me. No huge slamming of the door like our Colorado trip – but, a serious dampening of what I thought we would be doing. And, so there is a cool open lull in the trip right near Jen’s bday. So… I remembered Jen’s folks stay at a resort place down in the area we were heading toward around that time (Jen’s bday time) and so I thought I would ask the people they get that from if it HAPPENED to be available, and at what cost. Thinking it was out of our league, but, worth a try, right? WELL… today they call back, and have exactly the week that we happen to be mostly free, and say that it is…. COMPLIMENTARY!!!! WOW!!!!! 🙂 A FREE week in a RESORT on the beach in FL .. BY OURSELVES (our family) in the middle of our tour… Wow. Crazy.
#2) [Yesterday] So… (nice way to start a story) we are reading through Experiencing God with our small group… very cool study… the thrust of it so far is, get close to God, watch and listen for Him, and jump in on what He is doing. That’s cool. I want to. Well… I had lots going on… very busy… and I think of our friend Bob… he is a seeker. Wants to experience God… but I feel like I have missed the opportunity to help him a few times recently. So, I pass his old coffee shop – was thinking of him. He e-mails me… says thanks for the e-mail… still looking for support, and God… cool. I should call him… next few minutes, another friend calls me. In talking to him… we end up talking about BOB. Wow. Guess I should call him. Will when I’m done…. OHHHHHH…. Watch what God is doing and jump in. Called Bob. Was good. Will call again. Thanks God.
#3) [A short while ago] We were having van trouble. We were going to fix it. We were too late. I was in Syracuse, NY (one hour east) and the van broke down [transmission!] at a light. Hmm. Well, I pray… I have to get home. I asked God to get me home. The van goes. Sputters as I am about to enter the thruway (kinda no turning back from there…) I wonder… “Is God allowing me to break down here so that I can help someone here today to experience God?” I think… that’s too much thinking. Must get home. Get me home God. I believe you can. At an exit 20 miles from there… van slips out of gear. Bad. God… is there someone at this exit you want me to help??? TOO MUCH THINKING! I asked you to get me home… I know you can. No more problems. Van died as I parked it. no more transmission. Wow God. Wow.
Cool.
