Sometimes It's the Little Things - a testimony of God's Provision
Posted by Kayinpa on Sep. 8, 2007 at 11:51
Like a faithful Father, God is always looking at the little details in my life!
Last night, I was having my ice cream craving after all, I hadnt had any ice cream since Monday. ;)
So after the children were in bed, Nathanael and I hopped in the van to go to the store. I prayed that God would show me which store to go to. I got behind someone who was driving like they didnt know where they were going, so I prayed "Lord, please show me which store has Breyers for the lowest price, if I am to go to Giant, please have this car turn right, if I am to go to Redner's please have it go straight" So the car went straight and I went right to Redner's. There they had Breyers 2/$5 wahoo....but wait, no mint chocolate chip (my favorite). :( Well, Turkey Hill's Philadelphia Style is just as good lets see how much it costs......it also was 2/$5....Thank you Jesus. Now He know I didn't NEED the ice cream, just wanted it, but he blessed my desires anyway.
I have always told people that children dont cost as much as you think, if God provides you with a baby he also provides for the care of it. I rarely have to buy clothes for my children (and I have five). When my youngest turned 3, I gave away 9/10's of my baby stuff and clothes sized 0-2T. So when I found out I was pregnant with Nathanael, I realized I didnt have much. I knew my sister still had her crib, so I could count on that. At my shower all the big money items were purchased (as well as some of the little items, plus gift cards for what I needed). Nathanael is just starting to outgrow his 0-3 months clothes, and only has a few outfits in the 3/6 month size. My husband got a job clearing out an apartment from a fire. The stuff on the floor was in great shape, but from a couple of feet up it was really bad. He brought home bins of clothes (looks like they were in storage) and in them were baby boy clothes sized 0-2T. I wasnt even starting to be concerned about what the baby needed clothes wise and God has provided for the next two years (plus I will be saving clothes from my older boys now too for Nathanael).

Contests
Posted by Kayinpa on Sep. 5, 2007 at 10:11
There are several contests going on so I would thought I would cover them in one post.
1) Aligirl is having a contest in honor of her blogging for two years. The prize is a 1 year subscription to The Old Schoolhouse magazine. (I hope I win ;) )  2) My daughter Emily is having a drawing in which she is giving away a copy of the "Boxcar Children: Blue Bay Mystery". She has two copies so she is giving one away. Her blog is only viewable by registered users of homesteadblogger.com or homeschoolblogger.com so if you are not a registered user, but still would like to enter, blog about her contest and leave a comment on my blog.
3) Felicia is also having a contest, all you have to do to enter is leave a comment about why you like to blog and you will be entered to win a record book for moms.

In the same skillet combine the remaining ingredients. Cook and stir until mixture comes to a boil; pour over ribs (slow cooker will be full).

There are a couple of songs that have been going through my mind this week. Do you know how frustrating it is to try having a pity party and this song starts going through your head? LOL!
How Great is Our God
by Chris Tomlin VERSE(1):
The splendor of a King,
Clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice,
All the earth rejoice
He wraps himself in light,
And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at his voice,
And trembles at his voice
CHORUS(1):
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
and all will see How great,
How great Is our God
VERSE(2):
Age to age he stands
And time is in His Hands
Beginning and the End,
Beginning and the End
The Godhead, Three in one
Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb,
The Lion and the Lamb
How great is our God,
sing with me
How great is our God,
all will see How great,
How great Is our God
Name above all names
You are Worthy of all praise
and My heart will sing
how great Is our God (x2)
The Other Song is:
O The Deep, Deep Love of Jesus
by S. Trevor Francis, Music by Thomas J. Williams
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, vast, unmeasured, boundless, free!
Rolling as a mighty ocean in its fullness over me!
Underneath me, all around me, is the current of Thy love
Leading onward, leading homeward to Thy glorious rest above!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus,
spread His praise from shore to shore!
How He loveth, ever loveth, changeth never, nevermore!
How He watches o’er His loved ones, died to call them all His own;
How for them He intercedeth, watcheth o’er them from the throne!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, love of every love the best!
’Tis an ocean full of blessing, ’tis a haven giving rest!
O the deep, deep love of Jesus, tis a heaven of heavens to me;
And it lifts me up to glory, for it lifts me up to Thee!
