Heavenly Father's Plan

When we moved here, and were going through the process of job interview, selling our house, finding a new house, etc., Trevor and I were absolutely amazed at how things seemed to happen so easily for us. We kept wondering why--but felt that there must be a reason that Heavenly Father wanted us here. Anyway, since that time, we've had a new set of challenges, and have at times started doubting what we originally had faith was Divine Providence. Well, this past week, in Trevor's first meeting as a new member of the Elder's Quorum presidency of our ward, the Elder's Quorum president told TRevor that the ward here had been fasting and praying for a new active family to move into the ward when they received a call from us that we needed help to unload our truck. It just makes you think...the Lord really does take an interest in our lives, and the needs of families, and wards, and HIS work here on the earth. It's truly miraculous. Anyway, this confirmation of at least one purpose in being here has bolstered our faith.

Be careful...

My old Bishop told my wife and I the same thing when I called and told them we had bought a home in their ward. 3 years later that bishop called me into the Bishopric. Just a fair warning. :)

It's wonderful how the Lord works in mysterious ways. We never really know is intentions with us until it is all over. To cite a cliche: "Hindsight is 20/20."
