provision

that word has come out of my mouth more times than i can count over the last few weeks. His unbelievable, undeniable, undeserved provision. He's taken care of me, in so many ways it would take so much time to write out. but i thought that maybe i would share a few instances in which i have seen God's provision in my life lately.

the first is where i'm living/working. i'm staying with my parents for a little while (yeah, i'm that cool) but it's been such a blessing because it's given me the chance i needed to slow down a little and relax. and my mom works for a physical therapist here, and they needed an extra set of hands so guess who slipped right in? it's been a blast being able to work at something i genuinely enjoy, go home at the end of the day and relax. i've got my mom keeping me accountable to my daily Bible time, and we pray together every morning. provision.

the first week i was here in town i was nervous that i was going to get bored, and that i would be driven crazy by my parents and have no where to go and no one to turn to. and then God re-introduced me to some old friends from high school who were also up here for a little while. both girls are head over heels in love with the Lord and have been such an encouragement to me. we have been able to chat, and pray, and eat together and it's been so wonderful to have them here. provision.

and last but certainly not least, God has really protected my heart from this fear i had of people prodding me about why i came home early. i thought for sure i would be trying to explain it to person after person, which is not an easy task since it's not really an easy situation. but so far, anyone who's asked has been satisfied with my response of "it just wasn't where God wanted me to be." i've had a few go a little deeper, but everyone has been amazingly kind and gracious through this whole process. i've received so much love and support from the people who mean the most to me, and i am so unbelievably blessed. provision.

God is good. there's no denying that. and although i still have my bad days, i see a change in my heart, a growth that will continue to push me closer to Him and allow me to live my life the way He's intended all along. with Him. in love with Him. giving Him glory.

Praise Him. Forever.
