LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING ABOUT MY GOD'S PROVISION

Okay, so God has come through in the last 10 seconds of the game for our little family. Bryan got his first promotion THE DAY BEFORE we got married. He got his 2nd promotion the day we brought Ethan home from the hospital (not the day he was born!). And we have been waiting for Him now.

Bryan has allowed me to stay home with the boys the last two years, but it looks like its time for me to work full time again, and well- its stressing me out. Apparently enough for my 2 year old to say "CHILL OUT MOM!"

Well, I have been spending countless hours praying, searching, crying, praying, searching crying .. repeat. Today, I was tired from a long night of applying and had NO INTENTION of going to CBS (community bible study), but Ethan was marching around his room saying "BY-BUL-STUD-EEE" so off we went. During prayer request I spilled my guts. Talking about what a compassionate husband I have who reminds me that God will provide...and that we are fine now...but how I panic at the end of the month when I see our bank account ...and that i am stressed out... and that so many old demons are coming to fight me... and to be honest I am not sure I was coherent, but I was honest. The sweet ladies all promised to pray, gave ideas, and then began to pray over the situation in the room. When I left I felt a calm I hadn't felt in a while. When I got home I needed some more reassurance and looked in the Bible for Matthew 6:26

"Look at the birds, they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?

 

As I opened my Bible an envelope fell out. An envelope filled with money. At first I panicked that I had stolen the money from our offering. It would happen to me for sure. I would be the one in the group that steals money from the sweet blind old woman who came to visit today. So, I immediately shot a message to my director in fear that the offering money fell out of the collection and into my Bible. I couldnt figure how it got in there- I swear I had my Bible the whole time. But her response was this..

 

Sarah- No it did not fall out. That money is a gift to you from God to encourage you that He is always there and will take care of all your needs. You are a treasure to our group. I will be praying for you and your family.

 

God shows up! GOD ALWAYS SHOWS UP! Right in the last minute when I am about to break, or pull my hair out, or eat an entire bag of Malanos... HE SHOW'S UP and says "I am here- I have always been here. I will take care of you. You are mine and I love you."

 

 

This post isn't about money. The amount of money in the envelope isn't of much value- but the reminder is priceless. WAIT ON HIM- HE WILL PROVIDE! He may not provide what I want, but He will ALWAYS provide what I need. He may not always provide when I want, but His timing will ALWAYS bring him Glory.

 

What are you waiting for? what provision do you need from Him? CALL ON HIM! WAIT ON HIM! He is listening, He is holding your hand, He is whispering "Wait.. I gotcha... I promise."
