faith is believing first and seeing next

Faith is when you first put your sailboat in the water, knowing that God will provide the wind for your sails.

"A man will make a plan in his mind, and God will direct his path."

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not unto your own understanding of things.  In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will direct your path"

Today my sister and I went for a ride.  I drove because she doesn't have a car.  She had written down a list of the things she wanted in a car, but didn't know how or when she would get one.  I had no idea that she was looking for a car.  While we were out riding, I mentioned a car deal that I had seen.  I casually asked if she wanted to go look at it.  I wasn't really expecting that she would. 
     We went on a whim, and that car was a bust.  We happened to ask the salesman to keep an eye out for any other car deals, and were leaving a wish list with the dealer when he suddenly asked, almost as an afterthought, if we wanted to see a van or SUV.  We reluctantly agreed, planning to leave after we had looked at the car and had thanked him for his time.  On our way off the lot, we saw a beautiful car and asked about it.  The car had no price, or info on it.  They  had just gotten it in, and the salesman didn't seem to know that it had been placed on the lot.  Turns out the car was loaded, and was the top of the line.  The mileage was minimal and the price was unbelievable.  I still didn't think anything was going to happen, but long story short, my sister left with a top of the line car which was a steal with very low mileage.
     She had written down what she wanted in a car and God provided it.

Put our sailboat in the water.  God will provide the wind for your sails.
