Last week I had the goal of finishing the garden boxes so that we could start planting. Dad had already put together the second box and it was all ready to be filled. On Friday the sun was out and so I decided to go and get the dirt and finish the job myself. I had said my prayers that morning that I would be guided and that the Lord would help me in everything that I was doing.
I got the dirt, put on my gloves and set to work filling the wheelbarrow and hauling it to the backyard. After my second load I was walking back to get more dirt and had the distinct impression to turn around and look at the boxes. As I turned around I saw that the second box was in full shade and it was 11:00 in the morning. I felt like this was such an answer to prayer. The Lord was guiding me to move that box out of the shady spot. With only two loads of dirt in the box I was able to relocate the box before filling it the rest of the way.
This was a simple thing but to me a profound example of how much the Lord cares about the small things in our lives and wants to bless us, especially when we are striving to do good.

Wow great story!! Carl had a similar experience albeit in a "cop-like" sense...he's still on probation till sept. and has been getting some "heat" from a superior Officer. He was looking for hours for a "very bad man" (as Kaleo would put it) with a very serious warrant. Just as he was about to give up, all of a sudden the guy was walking RIGHT TOWARDS HIM! It was amazing and he didn't even put up a fight or pull out his weapon! Carl was so blessed and grateful! I have so many more Cop stories to share with you...so when the sun is shining lets do a BBQ!! haha
