After yesterday when I am going to be crowned three more time, thus making my head have twelve crowns in it, I let the challenge of our tight budget get in the way for a few minutes. We both decided that we may have to put off our mission for a few months to pay for that, let alone if we are going to need to pay for a stress test. (You see, living with Bonnie and she with me, may put us both under stress???)
As I lived with knowing that another unplanned expenditure of around $4000 or so, just for my teeth gave us pause. However, as I thought about it, a calm peace flooded my mind and soul. As I awoke this morning, I had another peaceful feeling that though a surprise appeared yesterday involving our finances, so what. Father is in charge and can, and will make sure we go, when we are scheduled to go in His grand itinerary and we will go where He desires us to go. No matter about crowns, stress tests, or anything else.
I just feel very peaceful knowing that all money, schedules, the world, even the election of the US in 2012, all are in His hands, and all things will happen according to His will. Money challenges will not get in the way of His management of our schedule, our call, etc.
So though the exact manner of when we go, how we will be totally out of debt, and where our destination is, it will be and has always been in His hands. I just feel peaceful as I realize I shall spend hours sitting in that dentist chair, but none of that will influence our mission, when, and where we go.
Another miracle? Surely. An obstacle that really isn't an obstacle, it is just an event that will increase our faith, and permit another miracle to happen. Thanks be to Father for letting me accept this small speed bump in the road toward our mission and feel very comfortable that all will proceed as He desires, not letting us stress out over more crowns, speed bumps, unforeseen obstacles, and delays.
