| Provision Again |
Last night we had our first official speaking engagement. We were able to share our hearts and our passion for the people we are going to go live with. It was a good first run. We were speaking to a group of 42 ladies from various places around our district. We had a great soup & salad meal beforehand and then we spoke.
After we finished, they gave us a heart filled with Hershey kisses. They told us there were a few gift cards in it as a thank you for speaking. This was totally unexpected and we didn't open it up until we got home. We were shocked! Inside were two $50 gift cards and one $35 gift card to Wal-Mart and a $50 gift card to Braum's (a localized dairy store).
Here's the deal. Our cupboards are bare. Everyone has been complaining about the lack of food around here. It's not that we lack food necessarily, it's just that nothing goes together. We have hamburger helper kits, but no hamburger. We have several cans of stuff, just nothing that pairs up. As far as the kids' snack pile, it's almost non-existent. All of the "good" stuff is gone. I just kept giving them my famous "some people have no food, be glad you have something" speech that they love to hear.
It's just been one of those months when other things were needed- like warm clothes for kids who had hardly any. The bwins have outgrown nearly everything, which is a huge praise! H also needed some stuff. We were also bombarded with birthdays/birthday parties this month.
Anyway, long story short. No one knew our shortage, except God. We were content to finish out the month with what we had and make it through. We considered it a good trial run for next year. However, God, in His wonderful way, sent us blessings we didn't expect. Provision, yet again. |

Do you have Jehovah Jireh book? You should definitely write this down in it. We love ours, it is one of the best things we've done as a family.
