Wow.

I don’t really have much energy to share this right now, but I really really want to!

A while back, a missionary friend of mine IMed me and asked if I knew of anyone selling or getting rid of a snake (a bunch of cables used to run a sound system from a distance, usually 100 feet). His was no longer functioning, and they had no money to get another one.

So, I told him I would keep my eyes open. And I have, but nothing had really appeared before them. 🙂 So really, I forgot about it.

Then, when I was scrambling for a sound system and someone to run it for our August Concert Series last month… I remembered another friend, Ted, whom I had not spoken with in quite some time, and who is also an amazing sound guy. I talked to him the NIGHT OF the gig. He couldn’t help me that night, but the next two weeks, he was able to come out and help me! That was so great!

SO… I was helping him return his sound stuff to his garage, and he happened to mention that he had TWO snakes… LIGHTBULB goes off! I remembered Chris and his request, and mentioned it to Ted… and it seemed like a light went off in his head as well. And he said, essentially… he needed to do some leg work, but he would make it happen. (To get a snake to Chris in Ecuador!!!)

WOW!!! If it ended there, this was a really cool story of God bringing lots of his people together to help each other.

BUT THERE WAS AN EVEN COOLER TWIST!!!

So, Ted ends up not giving or selling one of his snakes… but BUYING ONE on eBay and donating it to Chris! Wow!

BUT IT DOESN’T END THERE!!!!

The guy whom Ted bought the snake from is a Christian in a praise band, and found out what Ted was doing and REFUNDED HIM HIS MONEY!!!! Just because he wanted to have his snake continue to be “used for the Lord” I believe he said. Wow.

OH MY!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂

So… When Chris asked me, I by a strange set of circumstances, asked a friend I don’t get to see very much, who got crazy and bought something on eBay from a guy who ended up giving something God had given him to help advance the Kingdom in Ecuador.

How’s that for cool?!!?

So so so cool.

I still smile a lot just thinking of it! Thanks God for doing more than we can ask or imagine!

I pray you get to see Him work in and around you today in an even cooler way!
