I was unpacking some boxes today and I came upon something that really blessed me, so I had to share.
Last spring I did a Women's Bible Study at church. One of the things we did was write down things we needed to give to God and put them in a box. One of the girls brought us all boxes that looked like a flip flop. Very cute! So I stuck mine on a shelf and forgot about it, like I was suppose to. Today I found it. I smiled when I saw it because I knew most of the things I had put in the box God indeed had taken care of. But, just for fun I took off the lid off and started opening the little slips of paper to see the words I had written. One by one I saw that they were all handled by God! Then I opened one I honestly do not remeber putting in there. It was just one word...space. WOW! Did I really put that in there? Yes, our last house was too small, but I had NO intention of moving. I really, really wanted to stay until our oldest was through high school. (3 more years.) We had even thought we might even try to buy it so we could add on to it at some point. We had even looked at those sunrooms you can have built on as a possiblilty for more space in the future. Now as I am sitting in my new house (which is more than 50% bigger than where we were when I wrote the word "space") I cannot help but just be amazed. It was just a fleeting moment. Write something down they said...Okay, give me space. And He did!
God is good!
Happy Homeschooling,
Jamin
P.S. Unpacking is going well! I would say we are 75% unpacked. Here is my very happy daughter in her totally unpacked room! YAY!!!! She is one happy girl to have her own "space" now! :^)
Jamin, that is totally awesome! I love it when that happens! So cool! Just be careful what you ask for, my parents wanted to live on a lake but never found a place they liked and settled for something else. Shortly after they moved, the re-dug the well and the guy told them that they were on an UNDERGROUND LAKE!!! LOL So their prayer had been answered, just not the way they thought it would be. LOL
Reading about God's blessings is such a joy. Thank you for sharing this. I guess that's why I like to blog and read others' blogs--we can never praise God too much! in Christ, Gin
I just got The Shoe Box by Francine Rivers out of the library and she writes in the beginning that she was inspired to write the book by doing the same thing you had done. I think thats an awesome way to remember Gods faithfullness. He has blessed me so many times answering so many prayers but sometimes we forget. Good idea.
We have homeschooled our children from the start and we love every minute of it! This is my place to share my thoughts on homeschooling, my kids and living for the Lord. All the while being a little outside the box!!
