When important stuff happens, I blog. You guessed it. I'm blogging.

So the Lord works in mysterious ways. I've actualy witnessed this firsthand. Tonight after college group, Alie and I were talking for quite a while. NO that was not mysterious. Gosh, you people. Anyway, we talked for a long time and it happened that we were the last ones there. Even after Grant. But Alie had left her purse and coat in the room. We weren't in the room. We got back to the room and they weren't there. Girls, what do you keep in your purses? That's right. Car keys, cell phones, money. Ok, so we stayed calm and thought about what to do. 'Course our first thought was that one of the leaders picked it up cause everybody was gone and somebody apparantly forgot it. Well, Alie thought Amber had an extra car key of hers, so we used what little change I had in a payphone to call her. At this point it's like 10:15. Alie starts talking to Amber and it turns out that she doesn't have the extra key anymore. But. Yes, a but. But, she knows where Alie's purse is. Amber happened to know that Luke had hidden Alie's purse in the computer desk cabinet dealie. Now let's think this through. How impossible would this have been had God's hand not been in it? Let's start at the begninning. 1. I could have emptied the change out of my pocket, or spent it earlier. 2. Amber could have been unreachable on the fone. 3. Amber could have not known about Luke's little gag. Then we'd been outta change and Alie'd be stuck. Or even worse, what if I had left without finding out Alie couldn't find her purse? She had no change or cellfone. She'da been stuck. 4. Luke could have remembered his prank and taken the purse out of the cabinet. 5. Alie's keys could have been in her coat pocket, which Luke didn't stick in that cabinet. Can all these things work right on their own? I think not. God had that planned for some reason or other. Yes, that might seem weird. But it worked didn't it? Alie's home safe. If you ask me, that's a real good answer to prayer. The first thing I did when I heard her purse was gone was pray. What?! It worked?! Who'da thunk it?! How big is our God?
