God has it all in His plan.

Yesterday Kris and I went to Nampa to purchase the last of the supplies to take with us.
We went to a restaurant supply store. When we pulled up I told Kris I thought we could spend between $300 and $350 and we knew we couldn't get everything on the list. So we went in and started looking around, they have every thing you could ever want for a restaurant. We found the spoons we wanted and they cost about a 3rd of what we expected so wee picked up all of the style we wanted that they had, 5. Next we looked at Stainless steel pots which we didn't think we could afford. Then a sales girl walked up and Kris got to talking with her and told her about the trip. She than said to wait and she would see if she could get us a better price on the $108 pot and $20 lid we were looking at. We hadn't even thought of asking for any discount. She soon came back and said $95 for the set. We then asked about food storage containers and she directed us to some that were on sale that were exactly what we were looking for. She also said if we had any other big ticket items to let her know and she would see what they could do. So we wandered around and ended up back at the pots looking at a larger one for $130 but we couldn't find a lid. We did some thinking on the number of suitcases we had left, and decided we had room for one pot but didn't think we could afford the price. But "You have not because you ask not" so we asked and she found an aluminum lid and priced the set at $96. "We'll take it." We then got a case of each 4qt. and 6qt. storage containers and figured we were probably getting close. Then I saw a squeeze bottle that I had been looking for and grabbed it and headed for check out. The clerk added it all up and added the tax. It came to $349.56. Only God! I think somewhere on this trip God's gonna use the other 44 cents. Also that was everything on our list. We continued to see God at work the rest of the day.
Here is another God thing. At our meeting Wednesday several suitcases were left for us to use among them was a huge ugly paisley looking thing with good wheels. We had planned on putting the pots in boxes and the containers in another. When we got home I looked at that suitcase and then set the two pots in and it closed perfectly. We ended up getting both pots 1 lid, 3 jars of peanut butter, all but 2 of the storage containers, 2 games, 1 box of large Ziploc bags, 2 sets of sheets, and a pair of shoes.
I think we have some of every item on Al's list except olives and cherry pie filling.
I can't wait to see God has planned for that last suitcase.
