A Miracle DAY

Today I witnessed a miraculous turn of events.

The moving company has been scheduled for weeks, and they told me that they would drop off the truck today in the afternoon and pick it up on wednesday morning. Great! So a few of my friends agreed to come over after work to help me move some of the heavy stuff into the van. Last night, I get a call around 6:30pm saying that they will have to come in the morning and pick thr truck up around 5pm - right when all my help is supposed to begin. I couldn't get ahold of them until this morning and found out that they couldn't supply me with any help for the labor, and that the truck company couldn't pick my stuff up from a residential address...

It seemed like a "Mr. Bean moment" where things just keep getting worse. I kept trying to remember that roomates, a house, and a graduate program have all been provided for me and that God is still in control and loving...but it was difficult to say the least. I had all my stuff ready, and the company seemed to be dropping me ON my moving day!

To make a long story short, after a bit if prayer and some phone calls, I not only had the truck within an hour, but I could keep it for a while and I had professional help in moving my stuff in - all for a really reasonable cost! And my stuff loaded in the truck in only 2 hours! It was incredible!

At 8am, I was sitting in confusiona and disappointment, and by 4pm all my stuff was loaded in the van securely and on its way to Oregon!

I give thanks to the One who controls it all and took such good care of me today - in freaking me out a bit and in taking the burden.

I'm on my way to Portland!
