Ok, so God has us on an incredible faith walk at the moment.   Unpaid bills, half empty cupboard, no clear answers…just faith in daily doses.   The most powerful thing that has been visible thus far is the unshakeable joy and peace that Carol and I have.

Last night when Mike and Kim were over for Organic Group they both commented on the night and day contrast in us compared to our anxiety levels when our housing was up in the air in late January.   They said we were almost like different people from who were just 60 days or so ago.   This in itself was a huge answer to prayer.  I had asked God, to change me, even if you don’t change my circumstances.   I want to be “ok” no matter what my circumstances say.

For the past week or so, we have had less than $10 to our name.   Today we were down to $4 and out of toilet paper, kleenex and anything else that could be used on the daily necessities of the human digestive system.   We were also down to our last package of meat.

This morning as Carol and I prayed, I made a specific prayer for toilet paper along with the other needs in our life.  This morning we received a call from one of the ladies in our church who is moving next week.  She had a refrigerator full of food she needed to give away before she moves.   Later in the afternoon another friend called with a supply of groceries for us.   Not only did God provide basic staples in these provisions, but He even provided the kid’s favorite brand of macaroni and cheese.

Along with the groceries, my friend gave Carol $20.  This $20 was just enough to buy toilet paper, dishwashing soap, trash bags, paper plates and styrofoam cups.   This provision met the basic needs we have for the next 24 hours.

I still don’t know how God will choose to provide for those things that are currently past due, but I know if He cares about toilet paper, He also cares about our financial obligations.
