God's Sovereignty amid Life's Drama


Our trip started a little later than we had originally planned. Lornel realized after a careful search the night before we were to drive to Virginia that she did not have her drivers licence. God provided a piece of mail in the trash at her work that was addressed and postmarked to her which along with her credit card enabled her to get her licence replaced. The piece of mail had been sent to us by "accident" and it was "very unusual" that this type of mail would have had her name on it in the first place. We thank God for His provision in this detail and in all the other details in our travels. God has given us safe travels and good visits while visiting friends in Virginia and North Carolina. We had a good visit with the Master's Mission. So far the orientation/training here at SIM has been outstanding. Thank you for your prayers. We depart on Thursday, and Lord willing will post our next entry next week from Niger.
