God is in control of all things- the big and the small.
On Tuesday, Oct 2nd we found ourselves with three opportunities: evangelizing with the boys from El Ancla, lunch with a friend, and traveling to San Jose for a Bible study at Claren's house. All of this sounded good until we realized that lunch was across town and we would have to travel across Montevideo twice in a two hour period. We knew it would be tight, but I diligently looked up different bus options. We discussed the idea of taking taxis, but going across town twice would get super pricey.
When we got a text from the boys saying they wanted to meet later than usual, the situation got more desperate and a bit laughable. We emphasized to them that we had to leave by noon; we knew we couldn't work on Uruguayan punctuality standards because catching a bus to San Jose was at stake.
But then, I remembered what Allison Pliemen used to say in New York, "God will work it out." So I stopped worrying. God knows where we need to be and how we'll get there.
Due to a highly specialized plan of telling giving everyone a personalized meeting time, we all arrived on time for evangelizing. (It was raining so evangelizing didn't go too well.) We arrived at lunch four minutes early, then made the long journey back to our house, got our bags and called a taxi, and arrived at the bus stop with 15 minutes to spare.
Getting everywhere at least 4 minutes early? God worked it out.
What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the LORD our God is near us whenever we pray to him?
Deuteronomy 4:7
