"The Lord is my Provider."

These past 3 weeks have been pretty hectic for me in regards to my financial situation. So many unforeseen things have happened that have resulted in me being dirt broke: bank issues, parking ticket, renewal of registration. I got so frustrated, because I felt like I had no control over all of this. I felt very uneasy knowing that the funds in my bank have dwindled to almost nothing. My credit card was maxed out, and I was running out of gas. With my car payment and rent around the corner, I was tempted to worry about my circumstance. But during this time, God has used a number of people to tell me that everything is going to be okay. One of my youth today comforted me saying, "Everything will work out." I was so blessed by that, not because he was just trying to say something to make me feel better, but because I knew that my God was in total control. I have full assurance that God knows my anxieties and fears, and amidst those feelings He will sustain me.

Today, I was filled with so much joy, because I could see the little ways in which God is providing for my needs. This peace He has given me is so overwhelming that I couldn't stop smiling today. Had I not been in such desperate times, I would've missed out on God's blessings. All glory to God.

"What if my greatest disappointments
Or the aching of this life
Is the revealing of a greater thirst
This world can't satisfy" - Blessings by Laura Story
