God's attention to detail

I should probably start of by telling you that we did paint Meagan Fox's house, as I stated on Facebook. But where the idea come from that it is the Meagan fox from Transformers, I am not sure. hahaha oeps. 


The life changing part of Canada for me thus far, is when we set of on a semi Luke 10. We are hiking North and with a loop going to the camp where we will be working for a while. In the beginning we got a few easy lifts, It didn't take lang for us to start making good process. Until one stage we waited for a while. I remembered that people have told me stories before, about asking God specific things and make a list of what their needs were. So I wanted to see how much attention to detail God has in my live. 

John 14:13 (ESV) Whatever you ask in my name, that I will do, So that the father may be glorified in the Son.

 

So I also wanted to see if I can really ask anything. I like cars so I asked God to send us a lift in an interesting car and we must have a chance to talk to the person for a long time. A while later someone picked us up in a Ford excursion limited. (The biggest SUV ons the road.) And to top it of it was modified a little as well. He took us on a small tour tough a small town and showed us the lake harbour. 

Interesting car: check

Talk time: check

After he dropped us next to he high way, God asked me if I want to go for it again. I couldn't see why not, I mean, I can pick my rides. God then said I must make this a long list and make it a "difficult" one. So this is what I said...

 

  • I don't want it to be a pickup or a SUV it must be a saloon. (All our lifts was from Pick up trucks and a SUV)
  • A woman must pick us up. (This never happens)
  • The ride must be warm inside (It is nothing impossible, but boy was it cold out side.)
  • She must take us to a spesific town 100km up the road. (this would be our longest lift)
  • She must give us a place to sleep and breakfast in the morning. (I was cold and hungry)
  • We must have time to chat to her about the gospel. 
I then though on picking a colour for the car, but realized that it would not benefit anyone if I were to pick a colour. This is what then made my view point of God different, He asked me if I think that He con't do it. Why would God care about the colour of the car? Well I loved everything that is happening so I said...
  • The saloon must be blue.
After I got my list together I said out loud: "In Jesus name please send us a woman driving a blue saloon........ The shocking thing is that the person driving the USV came again and picked us up when he was going from town to his farm. I didn't know what was going on, I was so sure our next lift was going to be a blue saloon that I hardly lift my thumb for any other cars. The lift took us +-10km and dropped us in the middle of nothing. It started to get dark and cold, very cold. We walked into the forest next to the road and found a nice place a pitch our tent. 
-It was the coldest night of my life! -
 
We started to hike again in the morning, but to no success. I started to get angry at the people driving past us. I evan called them names. When I realized what I was doing a immediately switched over to blessing every person that drove past us. I blessed them all differently. God gave me word of knowledge at 100km/h. I was praying like mad and I loved is. After a long time I asked God, how much more of this, I leaned my lesson can't we move on? He told me I must have blessed a 100 people before the lift will come. I didn't keep count, but God told me I have 40 more to do. This might sound insane to some people, but it really happened. So I prayed and prayed and kept more or less count, just so that I would have an idea of where I am in my blessing count. 
Frikkie called us together and said, we need to pray. So we asked for 2 important L's, a lift and lunch. I prayed for a couple of people more and within 3min a car stopped. It was a woman driving a blue saloon.   I knew what was going to happen next. So took us to the town, on our way we could discus a bit of the gospel to her. She then gave us lunch. After that she asked us if we would like to join her family for the weekend. We slept in a caravan aka trailer, in nice soft warm beds. Her brother works in the town where we need to be, so he said he would take us.

God knows the saying, The quickest way to a man's hart is through his stomach. We ate like kings. We had real French fries (Mac Donald's fries are fake), Putin: real french fries with bbq source and lot of cheese, home made strawberry pie, armish made raspberry pie, maple syrup, and much much more. WOW God is good.
My life is changing rapidly: When I am alone I am singing when I talk to God. It just started out of now where. I am doing Bybel studies and seeking deeper into the the word of God. I evan go for jogs in the morning. 
The thing I realized and am still realizing is how special us humans are to God, every single one of us. God showed me that I could evan pick the colour of the car just so that He can show how much He loves me and into how much detail He is part of my life.
