I don't know why it amazes me when God does something great in my life.  I know He WANTS to do great things in all of our lives. 

Do you have a want list?  You know, those things you want, but just don't want to spend extra money on them right now, because they are a want and not a need?  Well, thanks to our gracious, loving Father, mine just got shorter. 

We have been in need of a dresser for some time.  Douglas doesn't have one at all.  I hang most of his clothes up and the rest are folded on his changing table.  Being the boy that he is, I know it won't be long before he tries to climb up it.  Savanah & Alexis share a dresser.  Savanah is a neat, orderly person, while Alexis doesn't care if her clothes are folded, inside out or backwards.  It is starting to cause a problem.  I've had an eye open for a dresser, whether it be at a thrift store, consignment sale or new.  Well, Savanah and I were coming home from her eye doctor appointment (yes, she needed glasses, luckily our insurance is great and we only had to pay $30 TOTAL for the glasses and eye exam!  Thank you God!!!!) and we spotted a yard sale.  We looked around and I spotted a dresser.  It wasn't new by any means, it needed cleaning, painting or sanding and a little wood glue.  I didn't have a lot of cash on hand so I looked around more. 

I have wanted a CD rack to organize my computer CD's in for a while now.  There was one sitting right there and I grabbed it.  It only holds about 16 CD's, but it will definitely do!  I looked more and found a typing CD (Mavis Beacon) that I have wanted Alyssia to do for at least two years now.  I almost bought it from Rainbow Resource a month ago, but decided to wait, because I considered it a want and not a need.  Plus, there are many free typing courses online.  I grabbed it up off the table also.  The couple hosting the yard sale were very nice.  She confronted Savanah and said, "I have something I know you will love."  She handed Savanah a little leather type case.  Well, that was nice to just give her something, right?  I looked over the dresser again.  The drawers were in good shape.  The wood was all intact.   "How much for the dresser?"  They only wanted $10!  Oh, I love yard sales!  But even more, I love how God continously provides for my family and my wants even though I let Him down so often.  He loves me unconditionally!  I have been in prayer about some major things lately.  I know He is working miracles with those prayers.  It's very obvious.  Now, He is letting me know again, He cares about my little wants.

I didn't pay another penny for the CD rack or new CD typing software.  They loaded the dresser in my van and we were off.   Savanah opened her leather case and there was a shiny new digital camera!!!!
