God's provision

This may sound a little ridiculous, but I am sometimes completely surprised by the way in which God provides. Let me give you a current example.

In the college where I'm living, we were warned a couple of weeks ago that the hot water system is dying and that there were plans in place for replacing it next week, meaning that most of the showers would be unavailable for 3 days from Monday. That didn't seem to be too big a problem for me because I had already made arrangements to head to Shellharbour for 3 weeks on Monday - if I had a shower on Sunday night, that would be fine.

However, last night I got home to find an email saying that the hot water would actually be turned off at noon today so that the system had time to cool before they start work. Now, that's more of a problem! I'm still in Sydney for the next few days and I didn't think I could go to church on Sunday without washing my hair!

In being awake for half the night tonight (agh, shouldn't I at least be able to sleep better during my holidays?), one of the things that has been running through my head is the whole issue of sorting out showering arrangements for the weekend. It has just occurred to me, however, that last weekend, some friends from church are heading to Melbourne this weekend and had offered me the use of their house while they're away.

The solution has been found!

And isn't God's provision amazing? His timing is perfect!!

And I might try heading back to bed now for a bit more sleep :-)
