How does God Do It??

Do you ever marvel at the goodness of God?  Marvel at what He does in your life, and how he pieces everything together?

I have marveled again and again over the last month at the way God has pieced together our lives to bring glory to Himself, and to work things for our good.  There has been food provided when it was needed, money that came from goodness knows where, beautiful weather to open windows and turn off the heat, customers that were never contacted by us.  There are so many things that have happened in the last month that only GOD could have put together.

I know that He has a plan for us, and that He is bringing it about in His time and way, but right now, I'm enjoying marveling at the little things along the way.  Watching God work is enough to keep me singing all day long.  It's not by my might or power, it's through His Spirit!!

Trust Me, I Know What I'm Doing

Have you ever uttered those words??  I have, a lot.  With a 6 year old that's going on 45, I have to constantly tell him I'm smarter than he is.

Well, here lately, Doug and I have been on the receiving end of those words.  Since Doug officially lost his job last month, then lost his secondary job today, we are learning in a whole new way how to trust our Heavenly Father, and that He really does know what He's doing.

God has met every need, right on time, in a more amazing way than we could imagine.  As Doug and I continue to trust our Heavenly Father to provide and lead, it's a comfort to know that He really does know what He's doing!!
