Blessed to be broke

Yup, you read that right! I feel blessed that we have no extra $$$. Why? Because we are learning to fully trust our Lord and maker! Learning to depend on Him, as we always should have been! God is faithful, and blesses us beyond our dreams.

We were naked, and God clothed us! (Well, our baby was car-seat-less, and He placed the desire on the heart of a friend to buy us one.)

We were broken, and God healed us. (God placed the desire on the heart of another friend to buy our big boy a very nice birthday present.)

We were hungry, and God fed us! (My in laws learned of how desperate we were and bought us groceries, and gave us gift cards to the grocery market.)

We can "wonder why" all these blessing keep finding us, but I know the answer. God loves us! He will not leave His children cold, broken, or hungry! He WON'T! When you trust Him to lead you, you find your way through the storm. Just remember to let Him drive. All too often, we try to take the wheel and end up driving off His path. It's scary! More like SCARY! Scary to step back and just trust Him when you don't know where the money to pay the water bill is coming from, but it is also a chance to rejoice! An opportunity to see how GOOD our God is! There are many "wants" that have not been met, but not one NEED!

So, Thank you God, for leaving me broke! May I remember to rejoice for all You give us!!
