God provides a hitch

In continuation after finding a trailer:

We committed to buy the trailer on a Sunday and asked if we could pick the trailer up in a week because we needed to find a hitch. In prayer we asked for a hitch. I proceeded to look on craigslist against my wife's counsel. She said if I found something on craigslist, that God would not get the glory for it. Well, I thought I found a hitch on craigslist, so I went to look at it on Monday. Of course, it wasn't the right style of hitch. As I drove away, I smiled and thanked our Lord for a lesson learned and for all his provisions. With renewed confidence that he would provide the hitch in his timing, I continued on my way. Now it gets good. I pull up to take a right onto hwy 167 which will take me to hwy 18 to go home and on the radio I hear about a fender bender on hwy 18. Recommendations were to take an alternate route to go home if available. I went left on Hwy 167 as an alternate route. As I am creeping along in traffic, I look over and see a small RV center. I had a feeling that I needed to go there. I thought, okay, and kept driving. Again, I felt that I really needed to go there. Again, I kept driving and couldn't stand it anymore so I took the next exit and backtracked to the RV center. As I pull into the RV center, there are three of the exact hitches needed for my truck just sitting on the ground. True to Gods form, not only does God provide, but he provides abundantly. It gets better with God in his mercy, through another confirmation. I asked, "How much for the hitch?" and he quotes $150. I went to pay for it and they didn't accept debit cards. I look at the lady and say, "I am not sure what you believe, but I have to tell you how God has worked today." I told her the story of the hitch and how I ended up at their place, then asked where the nearest bank was so I could pull out cash. I returned from the bank and paid for the hitch. The man came out to help me load it, leaned over, then stood back up with his hands on his hips, asking "You using this hitch for missions?" I said, "Yes, sir." With a gruff voice he said, "You better thank Jesus that you came here to buy this hitch. I don't know why I told you $150, that is my cost. I sell them all day long for $250." So I asked the man, "Do you want more money?" He gives me a grin and says, "Nope, I can't wait to get to my small mens group tonight to tell them how God worked here today."

God has graciously provided our third fleece. Come back soon for how God provided our first fleece which was our house payment.
