Today God showed His faithfulness once again. But I would like to start with a little revelation that I had last week.
Last weekend, a couple from my church went away for the weekend for their anniversary. I was able to help out by watching two of their children for them while they were gone. I stayed at their house at got a little taste of what it's like to take care of children. As I was getting ready for church, I woke up early to get myself ready before getting the kids up. I was making muffins for breakfast, but it took me a little bit longer than I thought to mix the dough and spoon it into the pans. By the time I was finished and about to put them in the oven, I realized that I did not have enough time for the muffins to cook before they needed to be ready to eat. I started praying that they would cook quickly. As I was praying I went to wake the children up to get ready for church. One of them had already woken up, but the other was still sleeping. I went up to wake her up, and then came down to get the other ready. I was so busy getting the kids ready for church that I did not have time to doubt if God would get the muffins cooked.
So my revelation is this...
Perhaps the busyness of motherhood helps to build up our faith. We do not have the time to doubt God.
Just something to think about.
Anyway, back to today.
I got my first real flat tire today. And the air was leaking very quickly. I got my truck home and refilled the tire. I prayed the entire way to the local Co-Op that I would be able to get there without it going completely flat.
Prayer works. Just saying.
I got there without the tire getting too flat. Almost as soon as I got there, though, the tire went flat. But I DID get there. More correctly, God got me there.
Just one way God is working in my life at the present moment.
Thanks for reading.
In God, Emily
