The best example I can recall of God's SOVEREIGNTY is when my dad started going to Belize every year with my church here in Northern Virginia. A long time ago (years and years well before our trip), I recall my dad watching the travel channel and I think Belize was on the television. It happened to be when I was visiting, and dad said to me, "Sarah if there's any place in this world that I would love to go to, then it would be Belize."
Now I wholeheartedly believe that God ordained that moment and planted this desire into my dad's heart.
Fast forward to a couple of years later, and my church is going to .... you guessed it, Belize on a missions trip. Amber coerced me to go, and I'm so grateful she did. I wrote my letters and I was reading it over and then that thought popped in my mind. Oh man, dad wants to go to Belize, but I wasn't sure how he would feel about a mission's trip. So I was nervous to call. I finally got the courage, telling myself that it doesn't hurt to just ask. When I told him we were going and that it's a missions trip where we will work to help this village he said, "I'll go." He was calm and collect yet there was excitement in his voices. Wow. We went together that first year in 2011, and he's been going every year after without me, but with my church!! It's amazing how God works like that, but it's far beyond our minds understanding. I just trust and recall these wonderful things He's done.
