DAY NINETEEN

Yesterday we had Bible study, went out to eat and had a good time together playing cards.
Today my good friend Ros who lives in Managua came up to Granada and we spent the day together. We sat in a little cafe and talked for a while, went to the lake, and then to have lunch. Went to some art galleries, and then to the prayer house at El Puente. It was such a nice day, being with such a good friend, getting to talk and enjoy each others company, especially one that doesn't very close.

Today, and yesterday as I was walking around, I kept thinking how funny God can be sometimes. How little we are in our minds, in trying to figure things out. With how many things we NEVER see coming, whenever its right in front of our faces the entire time. Or, with things that we have SO figured out, and it never happens the way we imagine. We need guidance that desperately.

Whenever I was in Managua in March, we spent one day in Granada, as a free day. I loved the city right away. I love Managua, but I loved Granada in a different way. I remember telling one of my friends, as I was walking down one of streets, "I could see myself living here!" Its funny walking down some of the streets that I did just a few months ago, and the thought never came into my head that I would be living here for a period of my life. I had a different agenda, I had a different plan. But God's plan for me far exceeded anything that I could dream up. He knew what was best for me that day, when I had that little thought of wanting to live here.
Its awesome seeing those things that God does. Those places He puts you, that when looking back, it seems so simple. And it can be, if we let God direct us there.
So as I'm walking down the streets today, I kept having these thoughts, what other amazing things are you getting started God? How exciting it all is!
