Today is the day I decide to get Penny's clothes organized. Recently, we received some hand-me-downs and she has grown out of her 12 months clothes (yes, she is only 9 months) and I thought this would be a great day to get organized.
Let's jump back for a moment.
Anytime Penny grows out of one size I start to get worried. Clothes for kids are expensive and they need a lot because they get dirty or have poops. So I get nervous. I start to think, 'How can we change our budget for the month?' or 'What can I cut back on?' I get nervous. This last time I dropped to my knees and said, "God, you know our need for Penny. And since she is yours, could you provide for us?" The next day, someone came up and asked me, "Do you like hand-me-downs?" Boy, do I. Then another person. And then another. We were overwhelmed by the blessings.
Come back to today.
I start organizing clothes and I started to remember Elijah and jars of oil. It is in 1 Kings 17. It is an awesome read if you have a moment. Anyway, he is hungry and comes to this widow and asks for food. She said she only has enough to eat for her and her son and then they will die....That's hungry. So he says, no worries, go home and make me a loaf a bread. God says you will not run out of flour or oil. She did and she didn't run out.
That is how I felt. The clothes kept coming and coming. So many. And then when I thought I was done, I found a bin in her closet full of 18 months through 2 T. A friend had given them to me months prior and I forgot. My oil just keeps coming. So now I have enough to enjoy plus bless a couple of other mom's in the same situation I am in.
God promises to be our my provision.
So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. Matthew 6:31-32.
If you have a need today, ask Him who knows. He will provide.
I just love a good miracle!
