Father knows best!

   I have been waiting on a car since I totalled mine 2 or 3 weeks ago. I found one I thought I liked and we went over and drove it and it was the cutest blue and we did all the paperwork and everything was fine and I literally felt my tummy turn and I told Rick we needed to talk. I said I don't know why but I feel absolutely no peace about this. We told the very sweet salesman that we needed to go home and pray about it and that we would let him know.
   I was so mad. I told Rick what is wrong with me? He said "I don't know but whenever the holy spirit has spoken before it's always been a good thing." He said "we don't want to rush this momma". Well he may not have wanted to rush it, but i sure did!! Have you ever tried to run two kids and dogs and hubby to all their activities as well as your own in one vehicle?! LOL But one thing I have learned in my life is if I will listen to my Father's voice I will find peace, and if I do not He will continue to repeat himself to His petulant child.
   It always impresses me to look back over my journey with God! All the things I wanted, compared to all the things He has given me! I look back and my vision for myself was so much smaller then His vision for me and I realize that HIS LOVE IS EXTRAVAGANT! He saw me married to my best friend, Momma to two of the absolute coolest people I have ever had the privilege to know, with girlfriends who would gladly drop anything to be there for me and one another. He saw me as a member of a church and emmaus community that loves me and builds me up. He saw me secure in the home of my dreams and needing nothing.
   So one of the things I am learning is I can and will wait on His plan. Proverbs 19: 21 says many are the plans in a persons heart, but it is the Lords purpose that prevails Thank God y'all!!! Can you imagine if all our plans prevailed? SCARY!!!
   So that being said we drove down the road and found a pretty red equinox and it was cheaper and had less miles and did I mention it was red! =) the car lot replaced the windshield (it had a crack) and one of the tires (it had a screw in it) and they are putting in a brand new radio that is compatible with my IPhone. And I absolutely feel at peace about this purchase!! See how much better it is when you take our Father's advice!
   God bless and keep you, Ms. Jill
