Sometimes during these "tough times" it gets discouraging to look at your bank account or into the future. It is amazing how steps up and provides for all of our needs, and it is reassuring to know that He is the one who holds our future in His hands.
Ways God has provided for us this month:
1. We received a free piano from "twin cities free market" that is less than 10 years old and in perfect condition - with a bench. It is so much fun!
2. We bought an awesome car seat from craigslist for $15 that was purchased in 2008 - which means hopefully this could last for multiple children.
3. We received/earned enough from taxes and a job to pay a large bill that was looming over us without selling our car, and we have enough money left over to pay our mortgage.
4. We are being given free bread/bakery items from my dad's church.
5. We are given free diapers from my mom's friend.
6. We've gotten two requests for quotes for painting. One was from someone we met at a random event.
I read this verse the other day-
Hebrews 11:34
"You sympathized with those in prison and joyfully accepted the confiscation of your property, because you knew that you yourselves had better and lasting possessions."
Not that our property is being "confiscated," but this verse is a good reminder to me of where our joy and security comes from. When it comes to the things that truly count, God is so very good to us.
