How God Blessed Our Breakdown in Romania

Has God ever unexpectedly stopped you from getting to your destination?

That’s what happened to us last weekend.

Watch the video to hear about the details.

Yes, we did finally make it to Budapest but we couldn’t have done it without the help of Mihai and the wonderful people at Bethel Baptist Church in Satu Mare!

I don’t believe this happened by chance. God allowed it to happen and he orchestrated our meeting with the dear brothers and sisters in Satu Mare!

So next time your stuck or it seems that God has put you plans on hold, just remember that maybe God has you right where he wants you to be! Look around and I’m sure God will show you opportunities to serve and to be a blessing to others!

Question: Have circumstances ever unexpectedly stopped you from reaching your destination?

    So very cool. Thanks for this reminder of God’s sovereignty and providence, Caleb. It can be hard to see the big picture sometimes, it’s nice when we’re drawn into recognising there’s a truer perspective on things.

      For me it’s important to recognize God’s hand while I’m in the situation, that makes life so much more relaxed!

    God’s providence never ceases to amaze me. Always reminds me of how Jesus never viewed interruptions as interruptions when they fit within his singular focus of seeking and saving the lost. Neither should we.

      That’s a good point Kari, even when the disciples thought that Jesus was being interrupted by children he told them that it was OK.

    God is so good. Nothing escapes Him or takes Him by surprise. He orders our steps and we do well to trust Him…even if it interrupts our plans or doesn’t make sense.
    Thanks for sharing. God bless.

      Exactly TC! It’s always so easy to miss it when it’s happening but then you see it and what a blessing!

    I remember once on a missions trip in Mongolia, the car we were following broke down. While we were getting it fixed, we shared Christ with our cab driver – a divine appointment.

      Sounds like an experience you should write about Loren!
