Just a personal encouragement to all...
We all know that the Lord uses small, everyday things to remind us that he is control...the following is just an example to us all that we truly serve an awesome God...
All week I have been helping in the kitchen at vacation bible school. I was passing out cookies when I noticed that I was running out of the kids favorite chocolate chip cookies. I knew there would be arguing if some kids had a different type so I usurer up a quick prayer that there would be enough of the same type. Sure enough, I had exactly enough chocolate chip cookies for the number of children. As soon as I set the last cookie down in its place, I clearly heard the Lord say, "I will take care of the details." I thought that was great and went on about my business..
The next morning..as an after thought about selling my gas gussler of a car, I stuck a for sale sign on the window and drove it out to the front yard so passers by might see it. I had put Earl's phone number on the sign so he could answer all the questions that would probably come up. I didn't have time to tell him about it but figured it would take a couple of months before the car sold. I knew I had plenty of time to tell him when he got home from work that night.
A couple hours later, Natalie wanted me to take her to the library. So I told her to go out and take the for sale sign down out of the window before we left. When she went out, the sign had fallen off the window. I thought I would have to put the sign up better after I got back from the library.
A few minutes later, I was in the library when I heard Earls voice calling out to me.
Mom, he said, I forgot to tell you I made an appointment for someone to see the car and they are waiting to see it at the house. I gathered the kids and went home.
Long story short, he bought the car as is right then and there....paying me the asking price in cash..no questions asked. In fact, they had to make a dash to get it licensed. He needed it right then.
Somehow, the buyer had seen the sign sometime before it fell out of the window. Come to find out, they were on there way to see a car in another town and just "happened" to see the sign in the window.
I am moving out of my present living situation into an apartment and had been worried about coming up with all the extra moving expenses..deposits etc. This situation was just a reminder to me of the love of the Lord for me..He loves me so much, he will take care of every detail!!!!!
Have a great day.. and remember... He is the same yesterday, today and forever...
