So, I've been really struggling to sort out the really practical things of life lately. The main one has been food. Contrary to what everything thinks, it's not because I don't have any, and it's not because I don't want to eat. It just seems to be that the day fills up so quickly and suddenly, it's the end of the day and I realise that all I've eaten was the apple I grabbed on the way out the door.
Well, let's just say that while I've been out and about, it really would have been simple enough to stop off somewhere and buy something. But, I'm so conscious of every dollar I spend that I kept avoiding buying food out.
I know most of this stuff is just my own lack of discipline to have something prepared and ready to take with me through the day. Nonetheless, the Lord has provided in ways I never would have imagined. While I was away in Adelaide, two girls from Church snuck into my house, cooked up a whole bunch of stuff, filled the pantry and the fruit bowl and left numerous snacks and treats. I was so surprised when I got home that I sat down and cried.
I am so thankful for the way they have blessed and honoured me, and I'm so thankful that the Lord provides me with people who actually love enough not just to say words, but to go out and do something. I trust that God will bless them abundantly for their generosity. And I'm really glad I've got people who will say the hard words to me when I need it!
Praise the Lord for His provision!
