Reminder of God's Provision Even in the Small Stuff

Today we had a quiet morning before church and left about 11:30 to head to Pu Dong (East side of the river of Shanghai—we live on the west side of the river) Traffic was crazy with accidents and just slow downs. We arrived and ate lunch at Papa Johns (our new stable of food). Church began at 2:00. This service unfortunately did not have nursery, so Josh stayed with us while Danny went to Sunday school class. We sat in front of a nice couple (American) she was is from California and he was from Michigan. I am not sure if they met once in China or before they came to China. They have been in China for 5 years, first in Beijing and now in Shanghai. She was so sweet and said they were going to be moving to the community right next to ours shortly. She happens to work at the American School (I have been worried about getting Danny into preschool here as we have heard there are long wait lists and many kids do not even get into it. Danny would not start here until 2010 due to his birthday being right after the cutoff date). In our conversations she explained that she was actually in admissions, and that we would not have any trouble at all in getting Danny in at the school. She also indicated that the school right in our compound (which Dustin and I were now leaning toward putting Danny into due to the enormous travel time getting to the other school we had found--nearly 2 hours total travel time) was excellent and that a whole little group of them come from the SRC school and start preschool at the American school together. This just reminded me of God's amazing provision and how he cares about even the smallest details in our lives. As she was moving close, she asked for my information, and hopefully we will be able to get together once she as relocated.
The rest of the day went quickly and we tried our mystery fish from the store. All I could tell at the store was it was a white fish. Dustin and I both believe after eating it that it was a catfish. I had pan fried it, so it came out pretty good. The big success was that both the boys ate it. Tomorrow is going to be interesting as Dustin is going into work and the driver will return to take me to the grocery store.
