One of those small jobs came in for my husband yesterday. God's timing always surprises me, and I should be used to the "at the last minute" quality of how He works. :) Gary left early so he could get the work completed today. Tiny victories, and proof that the Lord does answer prayer. Truly, if anyone on the outside, looking in, could see our finances and weighed them against the world and its problems now, they'd just shake their head. It's amazing how the Lord continues to bring work into my husband's shop. And, while I don't know how we'd manage without the kids' help from time to time, still the bulk of the bills are paid through the workshop.
Am reminded of the verse in James 4:2, about us not having because we don't ask God for it. We'll go to any extreme to make things happen, when resting in the Lord and asking for His help is all that's needed. Something for me to remember when I get to biting my nails. Sometimes I seem to want Him to just read my mind, and pop out the answers. But I tend to forget that He wants a relationship with me aside from responding to my needs.
Yes, I continue to have to learn the hard way.
