But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings like eagles,
they shall run and not grow weary,
they shall walk and not faint.

Isaiah 40:31 NKJV

Lord, you are so good!

The Lord provides in some of the most surprising and unexpected ways. I think it is His signature trademark, so that you know without a doubt that the provision is most definitely from Him. I was JUST telling Martha yesterday that we need to plan a trip to the grocery store soon, because we are beginning to run low in the fridge and cupboards. As we all know, money is tight, and such a trip takes budgeting for. We decided to make a goal to try and go next week, to give us some time to make a few extra tips over the weekend. That works. But our Heavenly Father had a different plan for His daughters. We now fast forward to today's date. Ash and I were on our way to TV stardom this morning (not really, but we were helping out with a local commercial for our landlord's car dealership), which we were more than happy to do, since we are blessed to live in his beautiful home. Also, we have purchased our vehicles at the dealership so our testimonials would be legitimate. Of all the ways that we could be thanked (not that thanks was necessary) for taking an hour out of our day, the salesman running the gig brings out two $50.00 gift cards to where? Stater Brothers! Just like that, a hundred bucks for a grocery store trip was dropped in our laps. I am so thankful that we have a Father who cares so much for even the birds and the fish, that he provides for them; but He cares for us SO much more, His children, and blesses us when we don't even deserve or expect it.
