Divine appointments

Still taking this one step at a time.. This week will determine whether I leave in September or October. Part of me is pulling for September and part of me's pulling for October. Ultimately I am leaving it in God's hands and waiting to see what He does.
Thus far it's been really cool to see how He's working things out and providing. Yesterday a series of "coincidences" had me in my driveway when I had every intention of being somewhere else. A family drove by and looked at my car. We went for a ride and the mom and I really clicked. They're in a tough place right now and really needing a good car. We talked all about God and His will and His faithfulness. When we parted ways we hugged, exchanged scriptures and agreed we'd both pray for God's will. This is the way I've wanted to sell my car!
Obviously it's not sold yet, we have to see if loans will come through, but I am still amazed by that encounter. It left me smiling and thinking on the way God works.. He really can do all things! I feel like a little kid.. excited and anxious to see what my Daddy's going to do next!

A portion of wisdom

I've noticed as I've been walking down this path to Belfast that some days it's the easiest thing in the world to know God is God and He's in control. Some days it's hard to breathe. I would say what I've been learning more than anything else is how to trust God completely. This is a priceless lesson that I am so thankful to be learning!
Exactly when I will be leaving is up in the air.. and I'm actually ok with that. Me, the control freak that needs to have a plan it actually ok with it. God is good! I've been reading the story of Abraham lately and taking a lot from that. Asking God for the spirit of Abraham.
However, I read something in a secular book last night that really struck me. It's dialog between two characters and it says

"You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway."

I can't manage to put into words exactly what this means to me.. it hit me in a very profound way and it's something I've been mulling over.
God, grant me a portion of wisdom and a portion of courage to do what you've called me to do!

P.S. Someone wants to look at my car tomorrow.. I'm praying this'll be the person to buy it! That'll be one more BIG step!
