Detail #1 I stumbled upon a blog almost three years ago about a special family who has a heart for Jesus.
Detail #2 When we brought Teddy home two plus years ago, we came to realize he had the same medical condition of one of this family's sons. Statistically I only originally followed six or so special blogs. Teddy's condition is 1 out of 10,000. The likelihood of one of those six bloggers having a child with the same condition is crazy.
Detail #3 A little more than a month ago that same family brought home a son who lived with Teddy in his foster home for many years (I even have photographs of them together). In 2014, China's Child Welfare Affairs Office said it had over 500,000 orphans in their system. The likelihood of my son Teddy having lived with the same family's new son is crazier still.
Detail #4 Before my brother moved to Uganda, I asked if Alex could visit them summer 2016. Little did I know that God was stirring this same bloggy family to lead a mission trip this summer.
Detail #5 In the Ugandan capital city of over 2,500,000 with limited physical addresses, directions are in the vicinity of something else. That my brother's house would be less than four miles away from the heart of the mission project and that he would know exactly where a certain coffee shop was located is incredible.
Detail #6 The cost of the trip is exactly to the penny how much we set aside from the combination of Ben's call tithe and the predetermined amount we give monthly to the spontaneous things God lays on our hearts. How can this be? God loves to confirm his plans with details that are beyond probabilities.
God can be trusted!

Wow! Knew most of it, but when spelled out in methodical order, it could only be the God of details who orchestrated it all. A huge source of encouragement to me right now.
