Noah The Musical

The girls standing in front of the Sight and Sound Theatre in Branson, Missouri
We are such a blessed family. I cannot describe how amazing our God is. He cares for all of the details of our lives. I want to share a story with you of HIS amazing providence. Two years ago, Greg and I attended NOAH THE MUSICAL in Branson, MO while we were at Pastor's Retreat. We loved it and since then we have wanted to take our girls. We knew that the price of tickets though were far from our budget for our whole family! Tickets average about $60 each for this show. Well, anyway... a couple weeks ago a very good friend of mine shared with me that she could get tickets for $10 each!!! Wow!!! We were so excited, yet it was bittersweet news. We knew that even though we could "swing" the $40 for tickets (2 and under is free), we realized that there would still be expenses with gas and meals. We went ahead and purchased the tickets and afterwards beat ourselves up thinking we had made a poor stewardship decision. I know, I'm being very transparent... but this is for God's glory, not mine. On the way down to the show that morning, I prayed for God to provide for our meals and the gas to go to Branson. I thought I knew how God would provide. I was wrong. While we were waiting for the show to start we met two couples from Texas. They were sweet. They thought our girls were just adorable... and rightly so! Anyway... we all went in and got our seats. We soon discovered that our new friends were just a few rows behind us in the theatre. While we were sitting there waiting for the show to start, one of the men walked up behind us and told us he wanted to buy our family dinner that night. At first, I thought he was just joking with the girls. Then he handed me a one-hundred dollar bill. In that moment, I was so humbled. I said "thank you and God bless you." The man walked away and I just started to cry. Folks, let me tell you... God takes care of His children. I love the Lord Jesus with all of my heart and I desire to do His will each and everyday. He hears us and answers our prayers!
