My family and I are learning to trust God and not rely on ourselves. It's hard. For some reason, I think that I... (who am a mere human capable of absolutely nothing) can keep my family safer, happier, healthier, richer than GOD. God!! The almighty who says 1 word and things happen.
I'm trying to let go of the "steering wheel" of my life and let God do the driving.. its tough, sometimes I find myself reaching over and trying to steer God in the right direction... lol.. But I'm trying.. and God has proven and shown Himself over and over again in such incredible ways.. I always look forward to the next miracle God will do in our life.. like the one He did today...
Anyway... For now I just wanted to share an event that happened in my life just today. As I was walking out the door to go to work, my husband asked me "Where's your lunch?"... I tried to avoid the question and just smoothly move to a different topic. Again he asked me "Where's your lunch?"... Honestly, I just didn't feel like taking what we had, I figured I could just find a snack at work or just not eat till dinner... I didn't really wanna tell him that though cause he would make me take some food with me.
So I just smiled and said "God will provide"... and went on my merry way to work... not giving my words much thought... it was more to put my caring husband at ease...
Later during the morning, my office manager was being quite rude and ruining my mood. I didn't want to be at work at all... then my good friend texted me and invited me out for coffee... I said "No, thanks, I can't today" (due to the fact that we have no spending money)... but she kept insisting. At this point, my manager was really irritating me, so I told Anna that I would gladly accept her offer for a coffee date.....
She came and got me and we went to a small little cafe and had an amazing lunch and some entertaining chitchat... She ended up picking up the tab on my lunch....
God had provided!!!
I was so amazed! Even though that morning when I said the words without giving them much meaning, God sure did show Himself... AGAIN!!!
