He Knows Best

It seems recently that the Lord is trying to tell me something. Since i created this blog-last week- a couple of strange things have happened. i don't normally see my life as an exciting one or something out of the ordinary, but i think that the Lord is trying to call me and Cory into soemthing deeper. As you know last week i got an anonymous email encouraging me and helping me know that God is near. Well yesterday was another one of those instances. Cory and i had a long weekend and we were driving back from listening to a Holocaust survivor speak at a home in Tualatin (very interesting). Anyway, we had forgotten to fill up our gas tank and as we exited off the freeway and into Canby we realized our car was starting to sputter! Knowing that a gas station was a good 10 miles away from this point i looked at Cory and said "i really don't feel like pushing the car today"! As we coasted down the hill into Canby our car finally died and we pulled over to the side of the road. As we were coasting down the hill we had noticed a van pull over to the side of the street and Cory and i thought that maybe they would help us. So as we stopped at the bottom of the hill we turned around and there was the van! When we got out we realized it was some people we know from our church. They had no idea it was us because they didn't know our car, but when we stepped out they were surprised to see us! As they drove us back to get our other car i kept thanking God and realizing how much He knows what's BEST! Ironically our sermon that morning was on the same thing and that was God's little way of showing me that i can depend on Him. That WE can depend on Him even when we don't know we need to.
This small little experience was probably better than anything i could have read or had anyone tell me. Its the things that God allows us to experience in life that speak Truth to our circumstances.
Thank you God for thos circumstances!
