A Spirit Led Moment

"The mind of man plans his way,
         But the LORD directs his steps." Proverbs 16:9 

Two weeks ago I called the county nurse from the CDC website; I originally wanted to book our shots in Arlington. After the nurse looked at her schedule, she told me that she would not be able to see us in Arlington...so that meant we would have to drive to Southlake. After putting the shot date on the calendar, I went about my day and told Jenna what I had scheduled.

Thursday, Jenna and I went to Southlake town square to get our Yellow Fever vaccine. After an hour of being scared by potential diseases we could contract, I think Jenna and I wanted to get every shot on the list. Thankfully we left with our Yellow Fever, Hepatitis A, and Polio shots. When we were leaving town square we randomly saw a family that Jenna used to nanny for. After talking with the family about our trip, we told them we were excited to serve and that the price of the trip had recently increased by a substantial amount due to Airline rates and other uncontrollable circumstances. As we were talking...something Spirit led happened right there before our eyes. The lady pulled out her checkbook...and wrote us a check for the exact amount of the increase!

Some people might say...wow you guys are really lucky that you saw the family. I think we have to look past what other people pass on as luck and realize that God is in control. That the God of the Universe looks after his people and God knew what He was doing all along. The entire time of preparing for this trip, God has provided and all the Glory must go to Him. So if you read this and things aren't going your way...don't worry God has a plan. As humans we can try to plan for things, but when you let God direct your steps...you might end up going a different direction.
