Thankful

#2 - God's provision in the little things.

On Sunday, we received a $100 check from this piece o' cake babysitting job we did and I just happened to have $10 cash in my wallet with which to tithe. Why is that God's provision? Well, I rarely have cash on hand, I was going to spend it earlier that day and uncharacteristically decided to use the debit card instead and it was the exact amount of money we needed to tithe. Also, we resolved to be much more faithful about tithing this year and it just felt warm and cozy to have God facilitate that for us.

Another one of God's provisions - I've asked Him to wake me up at 8am (which is sadly early for me these days) so that I can spend time with him. Generally, I'm okay at waking up when I tell my body to, but this has been uncanny. The last two days, I've woken up at 8:01 and 8:02, respectively. A God who cares enough to give us a literal wake up call? Astounding.

He's been showing me that He's right there with me - even in life's itty bitty moments. The Creator of the Universe woke me up this morning. Doesn't it make you want to cuddle up with Him?

Usually, we cuddle before bed, when I tell Him all about my day and how thankful I was. He is the best cuddlier (dont tell Pnut haha). ;-)
This reminds me of one time in college I owed the gas and electric company close to $200.00 and out of the blue I get a bill from them (1 bill before the usual "we are cutting off your electricity" bill) and it had a credit of $300.00!! I was shocked. I guess it turns out, I used over 100% less electricity as the woman that lived there before me, so they gave me a credit for the drastic reduction in usage. I think that $100 bucks difference went onto last me over 6 months of usage. Ha!
He I will provide.
