He's Amazing (& it's only been 5 days!)

Wow.  This is somethin'.  I know people experience this all the time, but I'm usually not one of them.
I chose to fast to set this year off right, to align myself w/God and His will, to release finances and favor concerning the adoption and for healing of my chronic back problem.  So many things have happened since I started five days ago.  God showed me the areas of unforgivness, bitterness & resentment that I've been holding on to.  I asked for forgiveness for myself and forgave those that had hurt me.  Lo and behold, the next morning my back began to feel better!  
Yesterday, we were at the commissary (military grocery store for you civilians) and the bagger that helped us out to the car told us about a bad ear infection that she had.  Now, I heard the Holy Spirit tell me three times (yes, three) to pray for her.  But, I didn't want to.  I just didn't feel like it.  Then I heard Him ask me, "You want me to do what for you?"  Ok. Got it.  Rob and I prayed for her in the parking lot and we went on our way.
Today, during my quiet time w/Him, I kept seeing flashes of pictures of places in Thailand that I had visited.  I didn't really understand it, so I asked Him what it was about.  He told me that we were going to Thailand soon.  I shook it off because I was thinking it made no sense.  It's not probable that we'll clear EVERYTHING that needs to be done for the adoption any time "soon."  As I was in the shower, I asked again just to make sure.  He verified that was what He meant and that we should send in the adoption application soon.  Don't wait.  I don't understand any of this and we don't have nearly the money that we need for each step.  But I do know enough to jump if He says "jump."
Oh, yeah.  I forgot.  I was getting my hair done today and told my stylist about the adoption and the costs.  He and his wife are believers, so he understood my craziness.  Anyway, he said that he'll do my hair for free for an entire year so I can focus on the finances of the adoption!  All I have to pay for is the product.  God is so good.  I'm a crazy, jumping fool.
