We are finally home at 10pm! What a long day today :) We are so thankful that hubby's surgery went well. I'm glad it is an outpatient procedure too!!! We used to have to stay overnight. I think we will both be relaxing tomorrow.....it would be nice if the kids decided to sleep in...ha!
We have also had some encouraging things happen over the past day or two. Hubby has been getting some calls for some side work. He will be meeting with a couple people next week about some extra work (from home!) and will also be starting this temporary position. We praise God for working these details out. I've heard hubby say on many occassions that 'God WILL provide, it's the faith to believe He will that is hard!' When you are in the midst of a situation, and it seems like you're sinking fast, you want to try everything in your own power to make sure you stay afloat! To have the calmness and peace to just let go and allow God to work has been something hubby and I have both been working on. In fact, we get giddy at times thinking of all the ways, in just this past month, that we have seen the Lord provide - and in areas that we hadn't even prayed about yet! Just this past Sunday we were given 2 bags of beautiful clothes for our daughter, and some cake pans for me!!! We have seen the Lord use others to provide financial help in times that we could not afford things. We have seen God take care of us in ways that don't even seem possible - making it to the wedding 5 hours away without a radiator cap!!! Our God is sooooo good!!!!! Our God WILL provide!!!! We CAN have the faith and calmness and peace to just let go and let God work!
With that.....I am off to bed. Thank you Lord for answering prayer :)
We are thankful to God for His many blessings and provisions for you all.Wonderful that Ben is doing great, and it is over.Such a long day for you Alissa, with the driving, sitting and waiting.Hope you both get plenty of rest.
ReplyDeletePS. Kristin,if your reading this.I will leave the bag of clothes on outside door knob Wed.,as we will be in and out all day.Please come and pick them up.Thank you.
Your kids are seeing God provide as well! I question how I personally would handle your situation but growing up we lived in your situation! God never failed us! I can tell countless stories of how God provided everything to the small want or need or desire that we had! God is soooo goood!
