God Always Provides

"God is faithful to provide for the needs of his children. He likes to meet the big ones as well as the little ones too." I nodded half heartedly when I was reminded of this truth not long ago. I felt a bit ashamed because I hadn't been completely trusting God for everything at the time when I heard those words. But since then I've been praying more specifically for even little things and it's been such a blessing to see God provide. So, one thing we've been needing and praying for is a bed. We've been sleeping on the floor on a futon mattress, and it's been okay, but our backs really need a bed. So, we've been watching and praying, and tonight in the most random way, in the way where only we can say it was all God, we got a bed. We were at the store when my husband's cell phone rang. It was a friend of ours who was at the goodwill nearby. She was calling to tell us she just met a couple who were trying to drop off a bed, a bed frame and a dresser. Well, they couldn't drop it off for some reason, (not quite sure I haven't talked to her yet, she just talked to my husband) anyways, she ended up talking to them and told them about us. She told them that we had just moved back from Hawaii and that we needed a bed. So we met them just a little bit later in the parking lot and then they followed us to our apartment. What a blessing to have it delivered too! And the other God-thing is that some married friends of ours were at our place babysitting for us and so the husband was able to help my husband and the other guy bring all the stuff in. So, it was just a blessing to see God provide a free bed and dresser, and they're pretty nice and in good condition. I will post pictures later of it when it's all put together. It always amazes me how the Lord blesses us. We are so undeserving of his love and grace, but he freely gives it.
