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.
