"God's just showing off!"

Have you ever experienced something and realized you were in the middle of God doing something special?  Last Sunday afternoon, both Ruthann and I were in the middle of something unbelievable.  After several weeks of waiting for the visa to come through we finally got all the clearances to make our way to our new home in the land of OZ.  Naturally, I was bemoaning the delay and wondering if God really knew the importance of us getting on with our lives down under.  On Saturday there was a wedding at the church.  Carol, a member of the church was a widow who was marrying a gentleman from Adelaide.  With her grown children living in Adelaide Carol and Trevor decided they would move to Adelaide to live in his house.  The problem?  Carol owned a home in Goolwa...fully furnished.  In a conversation with one of the members of the church Carol communicated her desire to have us live in the house rent free until we could get our barrings of where we wanted to settle.  Guess when the house was ready for us to move in?  Sunday night!  Sunday afternoon we went to look at the house.  One word describes it: UNBELIEVABLE!  3 bedrooms, 2 baths, 2 car garage, 2 living areas, a large covered veranda with a huge barbie (grill), a 50" flat screen TV with surround sound, & food in the kitchen!!!  God's just showing off...his timing is perfect.  When will I get this through my thick skull?  Oh, and by the way...plenty of room for guests...ya'll come down!
