Oh Me of Little Faith

This morning as I headed to town with the main idea of selling my books, my thoughts drifted to the next book that I plan on writing.  The one called Life on the Ranch: Life Lessons I Learned from Hunting.  I was in need of a rattlesnake picture and wasn't sure where I would get it. They aren't something that I go looking for.  I thought of several people who might be able to get a good picture for me when all of a sudden there was my prize object on the road.  I made a U-turn on Hwy 323 and went back to the snake.  I got out of the car with my camera and got as close to it as I dared and took some pictures.  Then I realized that zoom on cameras were made for a reason---just for rattlesnake pictures. :)

I stopped at the first store that was selling my books and walked away totally depressed.  The owner's records didn't match mine---or even hers as I had all of her receipts for the books.  She paid me and decided that she didn't want to sell them any more.  I walked out of there thinking that I wanted to see "Janet".  The likelihood of seeing her was slim as I have run into her once or twice in the past 15 years.  I went to Wal-Mart where I had run into her last fall.  I was feeling depressed so went out to eat before heading back to Belle Fourche.  I was trying not to do any impulsive buying due to my mental attitude so I went to Savers Mart- a store where I can shop all I want and get great deals.  Guess who I ran into in Savers Mart?  Yep, "Janet"!  We talked and she explained to me that it wasn't my fault.  She made me feel better so I went on to the next store.

I stopped at Love That Shoppe which is basically antiques.  She gave me a great lead to a new restaurant in town that was opening a gift shop.  So in August I will be able to put my books in there.  Then I headed on to Aladdin where they too will take my books after the motorcycle rally.  To finish my circle, I headed to Hulett where four books had sold.

So after a hot, but successful day, I ask myself Where is your faith?  God worked out so many details for me today, why do I not trust Him more?
