God's Provision

This morning I was just reflecting on the past couple of weeks and how God is taking care of our family during this time when David is out of work. As many of you know having a new baby takes a lot of money. This is especially true when you go from having two little girls with all of their pink and purple, flowers and butterflies, and then go to having a little boy with blues and green, trucks and frogs. We still have the majority of our baby equipment and the most of it will work for baby Micah, but there was still the issue of bedding and clothes. I didn't think that Micah would appreciate looking back on pictures of him coming home from the hospital in a pink outfit that said "Princess". But I have been blown away at how God has totally provided for all the things that we need right now. I have several friends that have given us hand me downs from their boys, many with tags still on them. Another friend has offered her double stroller, and our sweet extended family has totally blessed us beyond measure financially for the other things that we still needed. It has all just been a constant reminder to me that no matter how long it takes for David to be called to just the right church, God sees our family, loves us, and is always going to provide just what we need. So thankful to Him this morning for His continued faithfulness to us!

Matthew 6:8b "for your Father knows exactly what you need before you ask of Him."

James 1:17 "Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like the shifting shadows."

Hebrews 10:23 "Let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess, for He who promised is Faithful!"

Isaiah 54:10 "Though the mountains be shaken and the hills be removed, yet My unfailing love for you will not be shaken, nor My covenant of peace be removed,' say the Lord who has compassion on you.
