As the youngest prepared to graduate, Dad totalled all the items that had come up to help pay for college costs: taking a voluntary layoff and finding another good job quickly, scholarships, and so on. The final tally confirmed God's faithfulness. The total amount of unexpected college "help" was almost exactly one hundred times the original sum given away over 20 years before. Despite the change in plans that God orchestrated, everything worked out. God is faithful.
Having an investment plan is essential to meeting long-term financial goals. But we need to allow some flexibility within that investment plan. Sometimes God helps us reach our destinations using a different path than we'd naturally choose. That may be because He's not as interested in the destinations themselves as the journeys we take to get there. If you trust God and try to follow His lead, there's no need to worry — He will provide.
