This summer has been a testing time for me, but one that showed God's goodness in a way that I needed to see it. I didn't have a car in the beginning so getting to therapy was having to ask people for help. By the time I got a car it was the middle of June. Soon after I attempted to look for a job, but there seemed to be no openings. I tried to pursue tutoring but that didn;t work out either. I was frustrated and was praying that the Lord would either one provide a job or provide the money for me to live on. But in the midst of all this my dad had two major surgeries to remove some neuromas (tumors). it made it hard for me not to be able to be there. I did my very best to budget but that soon failed to and I was out of money (well lesss that 20 dollars) and almost out of food--so much out of it I ate one meal a day, snacked on popcorn, and drank as much juice or water as I could. I soon began to feel really sick--you know the feeling like you're going to pass out. i was praying and hoping the Lord would provide but I wasn't fully trusting in Him. Sunday night I thought all was hopeless and was about to give up hope that the Lord would provide--then I rememeberd something. God will provide in His own timing. I began thinking about missionaries and thier life. One missionary in specific came to my mind-the story of Diebler Rose. She was in prison, sick, and hungry. She began praying and the Lord provided food for her--bananas to be exact. I prayed Lord I know you provided bananas for Diebler Rose so I know you can provide me with some too. I fell asleep that night praying that the Lord would provide my needs. THe next morning I felt prompted to go to my school. Well to sum it up--my prayer were answered and He provided not only grocries but gas to put in my car! God is so good and I feel at time I do not deserve it. If you ever doubt God, think about the bananas the He provided the missionary in prison---He will meet your needs in His own time. Just wait on Him and don't quit praying
God anweres prayers in His own way and His own timing. Just be patient and let God do the work.
Althouh, I know I could have worked a little bit harder to get a job...I beieve that the Lord wanted me to rest and relax after a difficult year of teaching and wanted me to see how He would provide my needs is ways that I have never seen before. So, don't quit praying God willl provide your bananas!

Hey Becca,
ReplyDeleteThat's great to hear how God's provided your needs. I've seen him do that as well in my life and will be faced with some trying times ahead this next year. Thanks for the encouragement!
