Still not there yet, but already blessed

So I am literally in the plane, going over the gulf of Mexico to Honduras, right now, at this very second. I really just wanted to recap my week from this position. The main theme is that I have had Satan really try to screw me up with lots of totally random stuff, and then I have had the faithfulness of God come through with perfect precision, and obviously intentional orchestration.
My car door decided to hit me in the face making a nice laceration, one of my checks wouldn’t be cashed right away, someone stole my CDs and player, cheaptickets didn’t really sell me my ticket upon first purchase, the time it took to get communication in order with Alvin about going to Honduras at all, a last minute gate change for San Pedro Honduras when I was in Atlanta and I didn’t notice until the last second. Let me brake down God’s provision in these areas: I got stitches on my head right away, and a prescription for my diarrhea meds while I was there, the only CDs that I really cared and worried about being on my computer (and I was right that TJ’s first album is NOT on here… whew) ended up actually being in my house and/not taken, my dad could cash the check right away, cheaptickets ended up offering the same flight cheaper, God provided an ease in faith for getting in touch with Alvin so I could focus on working at camp, and I noticed the last people leave the old gate to the new changed one in Atlanta, so I got there within the last couple minutes possible.
Just the simple process of leading up to this trip has been incredible. God moving dramatically in so many lives around me. I love it. I got to see the way one family supported me with a large amount of money, and to see that it was certainly God calling them to give to my mission because He immediately gave right back to them the same EXACT amount. I love it. It destroys any doubts as to whether this was God’s plan for my summer.
I’m not even there yet, and I am already seeing God at work.
