As noted earlier...things just began falling into place that helped us make our decision. No, let me rephrase that...God was moving and showing us in all sorts of ways - that He wanted us moving to Hong Kong. The selling of the motorcycle was among the first 'God happenings.'
Once the offer from the English-speaking church was emailed to us - on Monday (the first of the 'four days') - Michael informed me that we should start praying - fervently - about this offer. And so....we did. We prayed collectively - we prayed separately - together before bed - in the morning at breakfast. I even found myself awake at night (ALWAYS at 4:30am) for four nights. I decided it was God waking me up to pray. On night number #2 - He woke me to pray for my family - I think He mentioned to pray that they would receive the news as He wanted...they would be accepting of any news with peaceful hearts.
Well, on night #4 - something strange & wonderful happened. I went to sleep praying for whatever God wanted - either way I would accept His answer. I then found myself at total peace about the entire situation. If He kept us in Dighton - GREAT - I'd still be close to my family in Tx (well, 10-13 hours driving "close")...I had plans to help a beautiful friend get a ministry off the ground (one mentoring moms in our area)...plans to continue helping another beautiful friend with her Zumba ministry ("TRAVEL!!!")...plans to get Moms In Touch (MITI) off the ground - something I wanted to bring to Dighton three years ago when we first arrived...and continue my ministry: baking cookies!
On the other hand...IF God moved us to Hong Kong - I was at total peace that night because I knew all would be well and in Him I could rest. So I did...and slept for a little while...until He woke me, again...around 3:30am...with something wonderfully amazing...something I'll never forget. It involves our dogs, a glass of water & our couch.
...I'll save that for the next post.
