Several months ago I was asked to speak in Texas in May of this year. I always love invites to Texas because our daughter is stationed at Fort Hood (Army) – however this trip, she was going to be deployed so I wasn’t going to get to see her, as she wasn’t due back until June. I went ahead and made my plane reservations and didn’t think much more about it.

Fast forward to April this year… suddenly the Army is moving up her date to come out of Afghanistan and back into Texas – and the closer my trip gets, the more they move her up – the result, she just HAPPENED to arrive in Texas the day before I got there. And those plane reservations I made months ago just HAPPENED to leave me time to hop into a rental car and drive up to Fort Hood to get her before my commitments in San Antonio began…. and there just HAPPENED to be additional seats on all four of my flights (two coming and two going) so that I could make a last minute addition… and bring her four-year-old daughter (aka the Princess!) to see her as a surprise.

Now what are the odd of all of that lining up? Most of the time we would say slim to none… but not in God’s world! If we can get out of the way and watch, we can see things like this happen all the time. 

How perfect is His ballet? Especially if we can all stick to our own part and not all try to dance the lead! (easier said that done). How often can we hear His music when we take the time to stop and listen?

I spent a lot of time trying to make my own music and dance my own dance – wow did I step on a lot of toes! And we won’t talk about my singing… let’s just say the world is a much nicer place when I am letting Him provide the music, and I am moving to the steps He assigns. What a beautiful dance He has given us….

Oh, and….. welcome home Sarah!

Thanks God 🙂
