God's still faithful (of course)

It's so funny to me that I'm always surprised when God provides for me, whether materially, financially, or emotionally. But I always am. In the past forty-eight hours, God has, through particularly generous and gracious amazing loved ones, provided $400 towards the money-still-needed category. I cried today...it's so amazing. I just, truly do not possess the words to speak the praises of the specific people involved, let alone to express my gratitude to God for providing through them.



The really funny thing is how God has provided also for Daive. I don't even know if I've said anything about this already or not, but let me go on for just a minute. Early in July I had completely run out of dog food (this was when I still had four dogs) and went up to work to pick up my last paycheck. It was the first time since I'd been there that the checks were a day late, and I was in a semi-panic state because I was entirely out of dog food. Then Dr. Sonmor said, "Oh, you have a package over there." Earlier in June, before I knew when I was leaving, I had signed up for a food trial with Purina One, and they said the free food wouldn't come in for four to six weeks...anyway, it arrived then, along with a coupon for another free bag of food. Then this week, I had again run out of food entirely. When the lady took Juliette and White Puppy, I insisted that she take the big container of food, and I just took some out for Daive, thinking I'd be getting money in some way or form before I'd run out. Well my Dad generously put extra money on my Wal-Mart gift card that same day and I ended up having the money to buy food for her. And the people up at work have helped me IMMEASURABLY to figure out what all I'll need to take for Daive, not only so she'll be allowed in the country, but to keep her in decent health while she is over there. The verses I have been meditating on frequently over the past month and a half are the verses that refer to the birds of the air and the lilies of the field...it's like God is saying, "See how I provide even for Daive? How will I not do the same for you?" It's amazing. And not only from a supernatural perspective...because God is providing through people, so the love that actual living breathing people have shown and generosity, it really just makes me cry just thinking about it.



I think next time I sit down here, I'm going to list out everyone who has been beyond amazing in my life...beware, the next post will be extra-long. I'm going to go spend some more time with my wonderful friend Jonny...good night all. Love you!
