How awesome would it be if we wrote down even the smallest details of our lives that God orchestrates so that when we are in the valley that is sure to come we can remember and dwell on His faithfulness.
Once every year or so my husband and I try to take a trip together, which I advise everyone to do if at all possible, because in the end it will just be the two of us that remain. I have always loved traveling and for me it is much more about the experience than the destination. So we usually go to off the beaten path places that no one has heard of. For this last trip I was bone tired and honestly I just wanted to go and lay on the beach and have someone bring me margaritas while I read some mindless books. We watched an episode of House Hunters International and they were in San Juan Del Sur, Nicaragua. We both thought it looked like a cool little town but didn't think anything else of it. Then the next day I was reading the blog of someone I follow and she had a guest post from a missionary in Nicaragua. I just thought hmmm that's cool we just saw something about Nicaragua last night. The following day I was picking up one of my husband's shirts off of the floor while he was in the shower. I have never done this a day in my life but for whatever reason I looked at the tag in his shirt and low and behold it said "Made in Nicaragua". He got out of the shower to find me next to a stack of all of the shirts from his drawer and since he is a bit of a shirt connoisseur there were quite a few (like over 30).
There wasn't one other shirt in that stack that was made in Nicaragua.
I just looked at him and said I don't know why but I think God is telling us to go to Nicaragua.
Lord have Mercy on my soul, the love of my life looked back at me and said, "Let's go."
