I'm kind of amazed. God has been doing this "Before they call I will answer; while they are yet speaking I will hear" thing with me lately. (Isaiah 65:24)

I was in the middle of worrying about my biggest question of the moment: Am I going to get to Mindy's wedding next month (Aug. 11)? I don't know how I'm going to get down there or if I am even going to get the day off work. And my boss is on vacation so I don't even know how I'm going to ask for it off.

While I was worrying about all this, I decided to just text D (boss) and just ask her how to get a hold of the weekday driver so he and I could work out the Aug 11th thing. And when I picked up my phone, I had a voicemail from the weekday driver asking if I could sub for him again on the 13th of July.

---(Friday the 13th...Could it be ANY worse than the Friday I just worked for him last week? I hope not!!)--

Anyway, at the end of his voicemail, he said, "And after the 13th I can pretty much sub any Saturday for you, I think." And I'm like YOU READ MY MIND!!!

So after calling my supervisor, who is temporarily in charge while D is gone, and letting him know I could do the 13th, I called J and put August 11th on his radar. We can't ask her permission from D just yet, since she's on vacation, but it's not for another month still, and at least it's on J's radar now.

But HOLY COW. God is completely fulfilling that word in Isaiah 65 for me right now.

The other recent example of this is that three or four weeks ago, I was in the middle of worrying about how we're going to pay for 1) new glasses for me, 2) a new vacuum cleaner, and 3) getting my car's AC fixed, when Stephen's grandma called and asked if I wanted to make a little money.

Now I'm worrying about getting to Mindy's wedding, and I get this phone call from work.

I'm just...wow.

God, why are you doing this for me?
Because I am good. And so that your life may glorify Me.
Lord, I praise You, humbly fall at Your feet, and I thank You.
