Frustrated?

We got back in the middle of the day today from the BCM campus. We had a wonderful week helping with teen camp.
This afternoon, Robert was supposed to go meet a missionary who is travelling to Tarapoto to do teen camp next week. The idea was to take advantage of the twelve people travelling by bus, and send some of our moving boxes with them (that way we could cut down a bit on the cost of the move). We had all the boxes packed and ready, but the missionary didn’t arrive, and Robert didn’t find the agency where they were travelling from. Finally, Robert came home with all the boxes.

Even though at first we were a little sad because we couldn’t send the boxes (and we did everything we could to send them!), Robert and I agreed that “God knows what He’s doing.” Sometimes we plan things and they don’t always go the way we imagined, and we can get frustrated, annoyed, or upset. But we must remember that “God knows what He’s doing” and He always does what is “best.”
The positive thing in all of this is that we already have some of our things packed, and we know God will provide everything that is necessary for our move.
