Phil 4:19
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus.
He meets my needs.
He even shows up with some of my most simple desires.
I have a funny story to share with you to show you just how the Lord shows up....how HE has blessed me in even the simplest of ways.
The other day I was driving down Jackson Street, passing Red Robin, and the smell of delicious food came into my truck as I looked over to some people walking into the restaurant. Part of me was jealous because I was hungry and I love Red Robin. Another part was wondering when the next time would be that I would get to eat there because as of right now I still don't have any money coming in (I start working tomorrow by the way) so I can't afford to eat out. I went on my way not giving any more thought to Red Robin. The next day I had a friend call me....making some plans for the day. She told me that she was going to treat me to lunch. I am sure you can see where this is going but I will continue! We get in the car on our way to lunch and she says that she has had a craving for Red Robin. I didn't realize that God was answering a simple desire I had the day before until a couple of days later (sometimes it takes me awhile) but as I thought about that lunch and about the time I had with my friend....I also realized that God is good! He loves me and wants to bless me, even with the simple things in life.
Since that day I am moved into an apartment with the four Anthem girls. While going through boxes the Lord blessed me with money I had put in a box before I left La Grande and I couldn't remember putting there. He had me find some more contacts that I needed before I have to go in for my annual eye exam and he has provided me with more food than I thought I even had. I am telling you....there really is something to letting everything go and giving it all to God. He has plans for our lives and holding on to control of that just hinders God from really being able to bless us in all the ways he desires.

Just wanted to say hi and let you know that I have been following your blog. You have been such a great inspiration and encouraging example to me as you go through this adventure. We have been going through "shortage of money" issues and it is sooo hard for me to give it all to Him. Something I'm struggling greatly with right now, which is, I'm sure one of the reason I'm going through it. :) To teach me. :) How great that you got a job! We will be praying for you. Thank you for being an example to me.
