Holy Moly, It’s Time…

So, here’s what went down a few hours ago…

(quick backstory… we’ve positioned ourselves to move to NYC, all we need is to sell our car. As soon as that happens we’re on our way…)

We woke up this morning and attended LifeChurch.tv. Great message by Craig Groeschel. We then decided to go grab some breakfast. We’re staying at a friends apartment and were on our way across the parking lot to our car when God hit me. “It’s time to go.” It hit me strong. Really strong. So strong that I didn’t even hear my phone ringing, my wife got my attention and said, ‘hey, your phone…’.

I answered to find someone calling about our craigslist ad. They said they’d meet us right about that time we’d be finishing breakfast. Perfect.

We finished breakfast and called them to find out where to meet them, they were literally about 100 yards from us. Great couple with one car looking for another one. He drove it around for a bit and said he wanted it. We VERY briefly negotiated price and we got the price we wanted. Banks aren’t open today, so, he gave us a deposit to hold the car and we’re meeting tomorrow morning at the bank to make the swap. Awesome.

(Backtrack again… we’re moving without an apartment to move into. We need a place to stay for a few weeks while we look for an apartment up in the NYC area…)

So, I text our pastor to let him in on the good news that we’re ready to head up to NYC. Now all we need is a place to stay (kind of important I think). And here’s what was happening on his end…

He was getting up at church to tell Grace (our church family in NYC) that we were selling the car and heading up. Text arrives that the car sold. He tells church that all that’s needed is a place for us to stay for a bit. Guy in the church walks up and says, ‘hey, I’ll be out of town for the next 2 weeks, here’s the keys to my place’.

So, let me go through this again really quickly…

God Speaks… (1 hour later) Car sells… Announcement made… (2 minutes later) text from Pastor Dave in response to our text that we sold the car: ‘We just got a place for u while u look for an apt.’

And that is what God does…

Buzz it!
