Hope because of His provision!


Psalm 139: 16 Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed.
         And in Your book they all were written, 
         The days fashioned for me, 
         When as yet there were none of them.



Philippians 1:6

King James Version (KJV)

 6Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ:

Today is mine and my husbands 9 year wedding anniversary! The past nine years have flown by and have taken us through many great times as well as through rough times.  Through it all God has been faithful and i can honestly say that I love John more today then I did nine years ago when I pledged my life to him.
These things bring me to much consideration to God's provision in my life.  I have often said I feel like God picked me up and dropped me into this life, and I still believe it is true.  When I look back on what could have been and how I totally deserve to have never been given this wonderful gift that God loved me so much that he blessed me like this really blows my mind!
YOu know if we really believe this verse from Pslam 139, then that means it isn't just true for today and tomorrow but that all the days that came before were planned as well and their consequences and the blessings they bring were not a mistake either.  God's provision for our lives is progressive.  Pushing us forward the good and bad work together.  (Romans 8:28) God has a vested interest in our lives and nothing happens by mistake, nothing can mess up God's plan for us!  and when we look back we can clearly see his love for us and how he is growing us.  As he grows us, he grows our children as well, this plan doesn't end with us, it lives on in our children and grandchildren until "The day of Jesus Christ".  It is his performance.  His script.  We just follow, obey, and live for him!

Thank you God for loving me, for giving me a husband that loves me and is an amazing man, He makes my life so incredible! Thank you for my life, and my kids, and everything you have done for us! I love you Lord!!
