Do you believe in coincidences?
I don't.
I think maybe it was this summer in Costa Rica where someone they told me they believed in God coincidences or maybe they said Godcidences. Which sounds much cooler than it looks typed. Try it out you know you want to.
Any who this to me meant that those strokes of luck or things that happened that most people saw as a random thing actually was a gift from God.
Well today as I was calling up pastors to share with them I was leaving a voicemail.
The usual who I am, my number, and oh yeah we do short term missions.
I had just started to say my name and number again before hanging up when the pastor picked up the phone because he had been listening and said "I want to talk to you!"
He had been praying about going on a short term mission and just didn't know how to go about it.
The coolness factor doesn't end there...
He had been learning Spanish because he felt like he was called to go to a Spanish speaking country.
Even cooler was he had a specific country in mind!
I won't keep you in suspense as to which country, it was Guatemala!
Now those of you who have done your Praying Pelican Homework since I'm now working with them would know that we are taking our first trips there this summer!
AND some of the staff were just there like last week.
There are going to be some crazy big things done by God in Guatemala and they are already starting so you should go read this blog post when you're done reading mine::
Anyways, I asked him when he would be looking at going and he said "Oh probably this summer. I already have my passport ready to go."
He is hoping to go in order to set an example for his church and take them on the churches first ever mission trip next summer.
Our God is truly an awesome one!!
You should look for the great things God is doing in your life that you might think our coincidences because I guarantee our Lord had a hand in everyone of them.
Blessings to everyone.
Happy Monday.
