God is SO TRUSTWORTHY

I have been going through an amazing time with the Lord over the past week or two where I keep facing sets of conflicting circumstances where there is a problem and I don't know how to solve it, but then God comes in and totally takes care of the situation without me doing ANYTHING.  I have started documenting the occurences because there have been so many in such a short period of time that I am clearly seeing that God is trying to teach me something. 

For example, when I first heard about the trip to Apison, TN with church, I thought it was going to be the second week of June..that was the week of the HEAV convention and I knew I couldn't go on the trip and miss the convention I had already paid for.  That was a major conflict because God had put the desire to reach out to tornado victims on my heart and I couldn't understand why it was going to fall on a week that I couldn't go!  Then lo and behold..the trip got changed to the 4th week of June and I had absolutely nothing scheduled for that week!!  Thank you Lord!!

Then I was totally stressing because we started our summer schedule last week and I forgot about one of Antonis's appointments that we normally go to every Tuesday morning.  The office called and wanted to charge me a $65 no-show fee!!  That was upsetting considering we have been there faithfully for almost 6 months and have been patient with the office as they have gone through changes that have inconvienced us in the past.  I totally did not want to pay that money (what a waste of the money God has entrusted us with!) and they told me that my son couldn't come to his next appointment until it was paid.  So that was looming and then lo and behold..I get to the appointment and the gal we work with totally understood where I was coming from and said she'd talk to the owner to work it out!  Thank you Lord!

Then today we faced another dilemma...this trip to Apison, TN has been planned for a couple weeks now and we found out that my son's ALL STAR baseball team was going to be having their practice/game week the same week as the trip to Tennessee!  So now we had to decide which he was going to miss and we decided it would have to be the baseball.  He was really disappointed but we knew God wants him to be there on the trip.  So we spent the evening with him grumbling and complaining and then lo and behold..Bob gets a call from the coach late tonight saying that they moved the ALL STAR week to July.  THANK YOU LORD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

And these were just a few of the things that I have come up.  There are several more to the point where I had to start journaling it all.  The Lord is telling me that I need to trust Him in the circumstances of my life.  He is in control of everything and He has a perfect will and often times the best thing to do when there is that problem situation is to just sit still and WAIT ON THE LORD!!!!!!!!!  Not sit still and stress...or sit still and worry..but to sit on your knees and cry out to God and tell Him you don't know what to do but you know He does and that you will wait for Him to show you the way!  He can move mountains.  He can change impossible situations.  He orchestrates all the details in our lives for our GOOD.  It might be painful but in the end, it's best.
