God is good, all the time!

I was reminded on this trip how God is always in control.  We camped for five days in Berea, KY.  While we were there we planned our next leg of the trip to West Virginia.  We had looked on the internet and thought that a state forest near Charleston looked like a decent day's drive and a beautiful park.  So, here's where God comes in.  Saturday night I woke up with a very, very stiff neck.  You know the kind, where you can't turn your head and you have the mother of all headaches.  Not cool when you've got about five hours of driving ahead of you.  Well, it took a little longer than usual to take down camp because I couldn't do a lot.  As we were driving along, Gar commented that we would have to find a pull through site because there was no way that I was going to be able to back in a camper.  As usual, he was right.  When we stopped at a WV welcome center, we looked at information and saw that there were no pull through sites at the state forest, so we decided to stay at a KOA near Huntington, WV.  It was a very nice campground, clean, the  best bathrooms we've ever seen at any campground, and that's saying a lot!!  On Monday, we drove over to the state forest to look around.  The roads into the campground were very windy and narrow.  I wouldn't have wanted to drive down there with my camper even if I didn't have a stiff neck!!  The next morning we discovered just how good God is.  Our tires on the camper were very bad and very bald!!  I don't think they would have held up driving through the state forest, and getting someone there to change them would have been next to impossible because of cell phone coverage.  This morning, as Gar was taking down the camper, our awning came off.  Another situation that would have been difficult to deal with in the state forest.  The owners of the KOA were so helpful through all of this, and Gar is a great tire changer, even when the camper is set up!!  As I was reflecting on all of this today, I totally saw God's hand in it, taking care of us, as God promises to do.  If I hadn't had the awful stiff neck we would have been in the state forest with problems that would have been a lot bigger than they were at the KOA.  Not only that, but even those problems were little bumps along the way, nothing big enough to even come close to ruining a vacation.  Thank you God!!
