It's not everyday that we clearly see the hand of God protecting us.  But sometimes He makes Himself very visible.  

It happened the other day when Guy was coming back from the village.  After leaving Eyene and before arriving at the Polo turnoff, they came across a large tree that completely blocked the road.  Had Guy and the driver started back to Yaounde just a few minutes earlier, that tree would have fallen on their car.   Those little last minute delays, those times when nothing is working out right, those times when we really should have left five minutes ago and here we're off to a late start, are all ordered by Almighty God.  If we could just develop eyes to see that, we would save ourselves a lot of grief.

Fortunately they were able to turn the car around without too much difficulty.  And fortunately Guy had been through the village of Polo once before.  It had been some years ago, but he thought he might remember which dirt road to take.  They came back into Eyene, turned right at the roundabout, and drove right back past our house.  Before long they were driving past the last house in Eyene.  A short distance later they came to the first house in Polo.  When they came to the Polo hospital, Guy recognized where they were and knew to turn right.  The road was pretty rough, but they were able to make it back out to the main dirt road that leads out to the highway.  

As they passed through Manguisa village after Manguisa village, their hearts were full of praise to God for His wonderful protection.  Though they arrived back in Yaounde considerably later than they should have, they were alive and well.  And the car was intact. Truly, God does all things well.
