Matthew 7:7 "Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you."
Today has been a wonderful day. I was again reminded that God does provide what we need to assist us in our walk with him.
Earlier this year, my daughter was struggling in school - not because she did not understand the material but because she had a teacher who was very tough. She was in the third grade and taking spelling tests on the states. She spelled EVERY state correctly but failed the tests because of capitalization. This was causing her to lose her love for learning. Each day, I could see her eyes dim more and more when she came home from school. Talks began between the hubby and I about homeschooling. Neither of us wanted to see her suffer but we were split on what we should do. The decision at that point was to leave her in school and have a meeting with her principal and teachers.
Fast forward to June. We were having issues with our housing unit and it was decided that we would be allowed to move into a 5 bedroom home (through military housing). This process normally takes anywhere from 1 - 3 years depending on the area. After discussion, we decided to place our name on the list that would take about a year knowing that the outside neighborhood was not that great. Amazingly God provided - 2 weeks after getting on the list, a house opened up and we moved. The kids went to the public school for 1 month before we decided that homeschooling was going to be the best option.
And now I get to see just how FULLY God provides.
Our neighborhood is FULL of homeschooling mamas who have all been doing so for a LONG time!!!! And boy, what knowledge they impart. God provided these wonderful ladies to not only provide the answers to the questions I have but to assist our family in learning how to fully walk with Him.
How thankful I am that he placed us in such a wonderful home in a good neighborhood where I have amazing women to assist me on my journey. He truly provides - we just have to come to him and ask.
Proverbs 24:5 "A wise man is strong, yes, a man of knowledge increases strength; for by wise counsel you will wage your own war, and in a multitude of counselors there is safety."
Isnt He amazing? I am astonished on a daily basis of His provisions, grace, and mercy. I, too, am thankful to be here in the place we are, that you are here in this place, and that we have the oportunity to walk along side one another for strenth and encouragement.
