REALLY BELIEVE OR JUST DO IT

 "Of course I believe God can take care of anything..."

My cousin's son was coming to visit the island, and a meeting had been planned at a nearby eatery. It was at a Japanese fast-food sushi place, where orders were delivered to customer booths by conveyor belt. I so wanted to go, but I wasn't sure my condition would be well enough by Monday to be able to bend my knee and sit in the car.

In Sun's post, I mentioned how elated I felt to see my knee was getting better, and it looked like Monday's car ride to the sushi store would be no problem!

"Yes Joyce, the Okinawan tombs are very different from the ones in the U.S., and it would be nice to show the tomb where Mommy and Daddy, Grampa and Grandma are buried...but it's getting so dark..."

But we talked with the store staff, changed the reservation time, and took off with my cousin for the gravesite.

Unlike Stateside cemeteries, this was completely unlit. I've never been here after dark, but my sister Joyce, who was driving, has--because she turned off the main road into the bush where there was no road seeming to know there was a path there, proceeding up a slope between bushes; and to some relief, arrived at what seemed like a village of cement tombs, the entryway roped and hooked.

Joyce stopped the car, opened her door, unhooked the rope, and moved the car up the incline, saying she didn't want me to walk that much. Actually, I'd told her I wasn't planning to get out of the car!

My sister moved the car right up to where the concrete walk around the tombs began and was level. God knew I wouldn't have been able to manage the uneven ground of the graveyard but could walk around if she got the car up over that incline--so she had!

Doubtless, He had enabled her to do all of this, the same way she amazed us afterwards, the way she could back out down the incline and out of the gravesite without any lighting.

Some of us say we believe. Some of us don't think about if we believe or not and just move while people stand around and marvel at what God does.
