God is totally awesome.
I know this may sound a bit trivial to some but I wanted to share a couple of blessings
with you. I love lots and lots of ice in
my drinks no matter what I am drinking – tea, water or soda. So, I have always wanted a fridge with an
ice maker. If it were up to me, I would
have purchased a fridge a long time ago but my husband being the frugal man (this
is good most of the time ;-) )that he is wanted to wait and
shop around. Long story short some
friends of ours are moving and they asked if we wanted their fridge. I went over to look at it and it is very
close to the kind I wanted with the ice maker and filtered water. They are also giving us a grill which is
very similar to the one that we were looking at purchasing because we could get
the end of the season deals. What a
blessing for us that God provided two of my “wants” with minimal cost. I know that God only promises to supply all
of our needs but I think it is cool that He sometimes surprises us with a few
of our wants. God also provided great
friends who took time out of their Sunday to help us move the fridge to our house.
This is a good reminder that I need to trust God's plan more because if we had purchased the fridge earlier we would have
missed out on the blessing. I am so impatient and God is always trying to
teach me to slow down and be patient with myself and others. I know that is why God put Bill in my life
and sometimes I am not very appreciative of that blessing. I know that my impatience keeps me from
enjoying life and the people that God has put around me. Thank
you Lord for the lessons in life even though they may seem hard and just plain
unnecessary. I love this quote by T.D Jakes - “Timing is so
important! If you are going to be successful in dance, you must be able to
respond to rhythm and timing. It’s the same in the Spirit. People who don’t
understand God’s timing can become spiritually spastic, trying to make the
right things happen at the wrong time. They don’t get His rhythm – and everyone
can tell they are out of step. They birth things prematurely, threatening the
very lives of their God-given dreams.” ~ T. D. Jakes
