W {What If...}

Much to hubs disappointed, "W" is not about Whataburger. A favorite among this fam of five. Burgers made to order, "Toast back twice" (grilled cheese -not on the menu-made with Texas Toast for the picky 4 year old), little wonder tubs of ketchup...I'm hungry...maybe we should grab lunch? Sadly, our time with the orange W is coming to an end (NC doesn't believe in Texas Toast!) and Mr. Brewer is broken hearted about waving farewell.

But I said this post wasn't about the bright orange, beloved W.

This post is about a friend, who will remain nameless, who is always asking me, "What if?"

What if...the house doesn't sell by the time you leave? Doesn't this mean you can't leave?

What if...the house does sell? Where will you go?

What if...you don't raise enough support? You'll stay, right??

What if...you get to PNG and don't like it? You'll come back, right?

The list goes on and on...do you see a pattern? She asks, "What if?" trying to find a loophole that will eventually get us to stay put. The kicker is my usual answer...

Um...I don't know. I'm believing that the Lord will take care of all those details if He wants us to do this.

I really have no idea what will happen if the house doesn't sell, or we don't raise enough support. I am trusting that this entire process has been the Lord's from the beginning. He'll work these details out...in His timing and in His way. Not mine. He knows better than I do, what we need, when we need it. (yes, some days this is much easier said than done!!)

Yep, back to that "faith" thing again. I see my friend rolling her eyes again. Not in a "I-can't-believe-you-trust-the-Lord-that-much" because I know she does too..she's just knows what I'm going to say!  (Secretly though, I think she might be praying for the loopholes to be roller coaster sized so we can stay!)

In the mean time, she'll keep coming up with new "What if" scenarios, I'll give her the "you-know-what-the-answer-is" look, then we'll drive to the big orange W in denial...no cheese and hold the mayo please...I have POC to train for.
