I walked into Dave's office one day and sat down and said," God wants me to go to Tucson. But I'm not going, I'm going to FL like I usually do." Dave just looked at me and grinned.
Dave was my councilor. Some of the issues that we had worked on were those of child abuse that happened when I lived in Tucson. God was doing some big things in my life, and healing some mighty big wounds. But I had no intentions of going to Tucson to face the giants that I had left there 40 some years ago.
Dave said, "Why don't you tell me what your talking about. You look like your upset." I stated that I was. I told him that I had been studying and praying and God had been dealing with me about Tucson. It was about the time I went to FL each year to visit my niece, so I was looking up the plane fare. And Tucson kept coming to mind. My niece bought my ticket to FL, so I didn't have to worry about that, so I kept telling the Lord I didn't have the money to go to Tucson anyway, even if I wanted to go.
Dave said did you look up the fare? I told him I look at a couple but not hotels or anything like that, cause I ain't going! Then he pulled his favorite phase on me! Are you going to do what you want, or what the Lord wants? I hated it when he ask me that!!
I said, "FINE, I'll see if I can fine something I can afford." Dave laughed and asked me what was my price range. I told him under $500 for the whole trip.
He ask me if I thought the Lord couldn't do it. I said, 'Of course not, I know He can do anything. I'm just hoping He sees fit not to."
Price for round trip, hotel, & car $248. That was for 3 days 4 nights.
A couple of reasons the Lord kept laying on my heart for going was:
1. I had to go back to the house where I told my mom about Frank.
2. I had to bury the little girl who had died on the inside years ago, but still loss and
without closure.
3. The little who girl who dreamed she could fly, was about to come true.
Wow, that's a lot to work on in 3 days.
