Nothing is Mundane

I will admit that I've been feeling anxious and scared lately about making the move. When I made the decision to move to Mexico, I was really excited. In the month that I've been waiting to head out, I have grown increasingly anxious about getting there and starting to help out the mission. I am pleased to announce that I am excited again after a blessed day.

These past 2 weeks I have been trying to find a minivan for Reuben, who is a big contributor to the mission in Jerez. Its a very particular car and a particular budget. Today the car has been bought and it was an amazing purchase. I found a private seller on craigslist (God bless craigslist), whom I called and met to test drive the car. The price was awesome and the condition was good. I called Jerry to come with Reuben and Juan to come take a look at it. They did, and they met with Mike, the seller, and we had a wonderful visit with him. Juan, who is going to be coming down to Mexico with me was amazing. He reached out and testified to Mike. It was amazing to hear him give his testimony and encourage a person he had just met. Its a great feeling to see God's hands at work.

It turns out Mike does go to church and we spent a good time talking to him about the mission and he shared with us his story as well. He donated some awesome things to us for the mission and the people of Jerez. We will be keeping in touch with him and his hospitality will not be forgotten. Its amazing the people that God brings into your life.

I remember when I was struggling to find a car and Jerry encouraged me to pray and not worry because God will take care of things. There are many who believe that God does not care about the mundane things of your life, like maybe what kind of haircut to get. But I am one who always tries hard to think that God cares about every little thing. It was said in the Bible that he knows every hair on your head, so I believe that every little thing matters to God. But at that moment, I had forgotten to pray about a mundane thing like finding a car. Its amazing what God can turn a mundane thing into.
