He’s Always Faithful

Wow, what a great weekend it was for me. It was also a weekend where God showed me (yet again) that he is always faithful.

I have lost some weight and I was in desperate need of dress pants that fit. Or at least ones that don’t fall off (I didn’t lose that much, they were big to begin with!).  I had some things to do at the mall, so I thought I’d just get my pants there. I did make a quick stop at the local thrift store before going to the mall, but didn’t want to take the time to look for pants there.  My budget was $30. That should be enough for dress pants right? At least the ones on sale. Well, Our mall is not very big, but I went to every store that sells women’s clothes and looked for dress pants. I only found 1 pair that was under $30 and they weren’t really what I was looking for so I didn’t buy them. So now at this point, I’m very disappointed and tired, but I decide to check one more store close by before going home. I had no luck there either. They only had 1 style and the price was $29.

The whole time I was thinking “I really should go to the thrift store”. So I convinced my daughter (who was very tired and thirsty by this point), that we will make a quick stop at the thrift store and then we’ll go home.  She agrees, as long as I buy her a drink first. So, off to the thrift store. I’ve been praying off and on all day for His help finding pants, He knows how badly I need them so He will provide.

We get to the thrift store, luckily find a parking spot, and in we go. I head straight to the ladies section. I’m not sure what size I am anymore, so I grab a few different sizes. I find some really nice pants and I head to the change room with 6 pairs.  This is the part where I still can’t believe it. Not only did I find 1 pair that fit, I found 3! The one pair was brand new, still had price tags on! I head over to the till, almost floating I’m so happy, and pay for my items. All three pairs of pants only cost me $10!

There is a lesson to be learned here. Be faithful and put your trust in Him. He will meet your needs  Matthew 6:25-34  reminds us.

I shared this story with my Sunday school students this past Sunday. You should have seen the looks on their faces. They had the ‘Wow’ expression, and they couldn’t believe it either. God is ALWAYS Faithful.

 

Has God had to ‘remind’ you about something lately? If you want to share, I would love to hear it.

‘Fun Days’ of Summer

   This week were supposed to get really nice weather again, so I probably wont post much. This past weekend we had ‘Fun Days’ in my town. There was all kinds of things to keep you busy. Friday evening was community slo-pitch, and a wiener roast after. Saturday was a free pancake breakfast, a slo-pitch tournament all day, bouncers for the kids, face painting, petting zoo, a flea market, a silent auction, evening entertainment, and so much more. It was a busy place to be! In the morning, we went as a family for breakfast and then my husband went to go help a friend of his, so it was just me and the kids. I took them to the ‘Fun Days’ for lunch and we stayed for a few hours. It was very hot, and they needed naps so we came home and relaxed for the rest of the day. Here are some pictures from our weekend: We ate a lot of freezies, and cotton candy, got our faces painted, and tried to find shade where ever we could! It was a really great day! I love summer festivals, ...

My Mid-Life Crisis?

This has been a very difficult year for me. I turned 35 this year and I feel like I'm in the middle of a mid-life crisis. I have been trying to 'find' myself again. For the last 12 years I have pretty much had things figured out but this year when my youngest started grade 2, it felt like my whole life tipped over. Now, there wasn't any outward tragedy that I went through, no, it was more of an emotional, internal struggle that has been taking place. Realizing that my family doesn't need me the same way, but they still need me. Having a lot more free time and not knowing how to fill it, actually, to say that I didn't want to do my domestic chores to fill my time would be more accurate. So many decisions were suddenly available to me, decisions I hadn't considered in years. "Do I get a job? Full or part time? What kind of job? Do I go to school - just take some courses or get a degree? What kind of courses/degree? Do we have the money for me to go t...
