Bibles

Two years ago we came and had a tea for Missionary women. It was a wonderful time of refreshing and I still hear about how blessed the women were. Yesterday I ran into one of the women (Mary) who had been there. She told me that after we were done with the tea and we gave out the Bibles which had been collected for the women, there were a few left and she asked if she could take an extra one, not sure why but she just thought she should, of course we said yes. She kept asking God why she had it and what to do with it but she hadn't gotten an answer. Well, a few months ago (two years since she got it) she was attending a Bible study with a few women and one of the ladies had lost her Bible the week before. Mary told her that she had one she would bring her and the other lady said that it was ok, she would buy one. Well, Mary brought it to the next study and gave it to her. She hadn't been able to buy a new one and was so excited because it was an NIV study Bible. Mary said that all through the study she watched her looking through the Bible and she was just smiling. Mary said that she was ready to just give it away a few months before because it was taking up room in her tiny apartment but God told her to wait. Isn't it cool how God has perfect timing for everything and we just need to trust Him?!
