At the beginning of this year I was hoping to take a vacation. I didn't know when it would work out but I thought that, surely, in a year's time it would work out somewhere. But there was one thing after another that foiled my plans. The other part-time secretary quitting in February, causing extra work. Training in the new secretary, dragging on for months. Numerous summer vacations of fellow workers making it necessary for me to stay. I knew that fall was out because the Kansas State Fair is our biggest selling time of the year.
At last I sighed and said, "I guess I'm not supposed to have a vacation this year," and I just gave up even trying to figure it out.
Then the other week I was out walking with my sister and she said, with conviction, "I think you should go visit Sarah (our other sister) for Christmas!" I hadn't really even thought of it but I liked the idea. The next day I checked out one-way tickets to Ottawa. Amazing price! Not every detail is worked out yet, but the ones that are, have fallen into place without a hitch.
To say I'm excited would be an understatement. I haven't been there for 5 years. It's not that I haven't wanted to go and tried to make things work out to do so, but the timing just wasn't right. But now it is and I'm so excited to see what God is going to do!
When the timing is right, you will know. He gives His peace and does more than you could ask, think or imagine!
