More Than You Can Imagine

     The divine intervention we experienced on the drive to Billings happened September 29th, but the prequel occurred August 18th in the unlikely spot of Wichita, KS.  I would not have chosen Wichita in August as a vacation destination, but Reed was attending Citation Jet school there, and I love both travel and Reed, so there I was enjoying the heat and humidity of summer in the Midwest. I was walking into the Wichita Mall with nothing in particular on my mind when the Lord sent me a spontaneous message. Not aloud, of course. Just a thought that came into my mind that I know I did not put there. The message was, I am doing more than you can imagine. For Tracy was implied since he was always on my mind. Me, being me, I said, "I don't know Lord, I can imagine pretty big." This is only the second time God has given me information that I did not ask for, so I was mostly thinking, What the heck was that about?
     Then we came home from Wichita to find Tracy, who was house sitting, dead drunk on the sofa and the house trashed. He had seen his ex at a restaurant the night before and drank so much we could barely rouse him. So I began doing what I always do in an overwhelming situation, I chose one thing to focus on. First, picking up empty cans, then plastic bottles. One thing at a time. the house became clean enough that we could unpack and go to bed. Except for Reed who, after getting up at 3:30 a.m. Montana time to catch our flight, sat up with his son from 12 - 1 a.m. to make sure he didn't aspirate.   The minute we walked in our door I understood why God gave the unsolicited message, it gave us something positive to hang onto when we came home to chaos.
     So far, more than you can imagine wasn't looking so good. That began happening later, when Tracy was finally willing to go to inpatient rehab. But the truly unimaginable event was when God showed up on the side of the road September 29th. And that was just the pinnacle of many perfectly timed events that followed, some of which I have already posted. God was right (no surprise), He has been doing more than I can imagine. And I look forward to the unimaginable things to come.
