God Said Go

I had the plan (that arose on Wednesday after talking with my Dad) to drive to Texas on Saturday  and spent the next week with my parents and sister.   I have to be back by July 24th as I have my College Advisor Meeting that Monday morning.   I didn't know for sure if I should go or not, so I had told my parents I would tell by sometime on Saturday if I was coming or not - I wanted to pray about it and see if it's something God wanted me to do.  Well I forgot to pray much about it.   So I decided in my head that I would just go ahead and go, since I wasn't hearing anything direct from Him last minute.   But I was wrong - I had thought Friday during the day was last minute but it wasn't.  Friday night I really took some time alone with God to pray about it (at His suggestion) and I lost all peace about going - I just did not have peace about it.  I was sad, because I had been looking forward to going.   But then the crazy thought passed through my head: "well if your not going to Texas, go to Canada."   I dismissed it as I thought for sure it was just my head trying to distract me.   I really wanted to go to Canada, but I didn't think I was suppose to or allowed to.  I had previously thought about going up later on in the month, but felt that God didn't want me to.  I had just then assumed that it was because it was too early and I wouldn't make it up.   But talking more with God and taking it to a couple close friends to pray about as well, God clearly told me to Go to Canada - and I had a ton of peace about it - this was late at night.  And He told me to leave at 3am.   So I set my alarm for 1:45am (after falling asleep around 11:30pm) and left at 3am.  I had no time to withdraw cash or buy any thing to bring up or anything.   God said Go, and I went.  I was worried that I wouldn't make it across the boarder, but God made a way - and it went pretty smoothly.  I was and still am wide awake.  And the drive seemed to go really quick.    I don't know the full reason why I am up here now in Canada, but He has a reason for it.   I plan to be up here for about a week as I still need to be back for my College appointment on Monday, July 24th.
