A Thing That Makes You Go, "Hmmmm"

We had Rob's bike for sale for four weeks.  Not one person showed interest.  :(  I was very concerned.  I thought for sure that it would sell.  After all, there were a few people that were looking at his bike when I was selling mine.  Evidently, Rob talked to God about it. Go figure, right?  I thought He only talked to me!  (Lord, teach me humility!)  Anyway, Rob felt that, if for some reason, his bike didn't sell, he should give it to me.  He told me that and I really wasn't game.  I wanted it to sell so all of our money issues connected w/the adoption would be settled.  That was my plan.
Now, for you that don't ride, let me explain.  When a bike is "yours," it becomes an extension of who you "are."  It's another expression of yourself.  That means you can adorn, accessorize, do whatever your little heart desires.  It's like fashion style.  What may work for you, may not work for me.  Anyway, I wasn't sure if it would work for me.  Rob picked this bike and had accessorized it and had chosen his vanity plate.  It says the year and model of the bike.  (My vanity plate on my old bike said, "tattoo girl.")  Just a little different. I took it for a ride yesterday and I have to say that I really enjoyed myself.  I already have a new vanity plate reserved--One Thing.

  Psalm 27:4   One thing I ask from the Lord
                     this only do I seek:
                      that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
                     all the days of my life,
                      to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
                     and to seek him in his temple.

Rob's unselfishness really touched me.  He said that I enjoy riding more than he does, so he thought it would be the right thing to do.

We're not much closer to anything happening with the adoption or the $5,000 that we need.  But, I know that  God wants me to trust Him in all things and that's what I choose to do.  While I ride my new bike with a HUGE smile on my face!  Thank you, Rob.  I love you.
