Random Acts of Dumbness

Posted By on Apr 2, 2011 | 4 comments


R.A.D.How do we know if God is real? Do we see Him in action, do we have no doubt? That question was answered one more time today in the middle of a “Random Act of Dumbness”! We’re counting down our days in Costa Rica – just not sure how many yet because our visa process is IN process and we can’t make plans or buy plane tixs for Ecuador until it’s complete. No worries – here’s what Ash & i did today to help the process along: on the way home from the Ecuador embassy, we lost all our visa documents and didn’t even realize it until 4 hours later! In a controlled panic, we began to retrace our steps. It seemed futile though since we had trapsed all over the city. BUT then we realized our worst fear – did we leave it on the bus?! Futile just turned to IMPOSSIBLE! There are buses everywhere going every different direction. What did ours look like, have the drivers changed shifts?! Yay – it was pretty much an impossible situation – except that God loves to show up in the middle of ‘impossible’ situations! We sat on a curb for 45 minutes feeling foolish. Our only hope was to possibly spot a bus from our route so i could ask the driver if there was some sort of ‘lost & found’. (not even sure if that translates or how to ask it!) Then IT happened – a bus pulls up right in front of us & yep, you guessed it – same bus, same driver! Our papers were on his dash, someone had handed them to him. God’s real – no doubt!!! I definitely have more faith tonight then i had when i woke up this morning. Enjoy your journey – believe God for something “impossible’ today and try not too commit too many R.A.D.’s !
