Hi readers!
Just a super quick update today!
There's a family that my family has known for years and years now and they are such a blessing to know. However, due to a move to Arkansas we no longer see them like we used to, but we still stay in touch with them through texting, Christmas cards, and sporadic phone calls (in my opinion, it's not enough, but I will definitely take it)! We're so close to them and their 3 precious girls that I view them as relatives - I call her aunt just because it feels right. This past week I began to feel a slight bit overwhelmed when I thought about numerous expenses coming up. I prayed a quick prayer asking God to not let me worry about those things and to somehow provide these funds, because after all, worrying is basically saying you don't trust God and His provision. I felt 10x better after praying and having my devotion in a little local coffee shop where I often find myself these days. My sister, Madi, was in class at the community college and I was waiting for her to be dismissed when I ran into my good friend Nicole at latte da. We talked and talked and talked until I realized that Madi should be walking in any minute now! She came strolling in while reading a text from my "aunt." I was surprised when I saw she was texting her and asked what was up, she replied with "aunt Barb is going to send you $1000 for whatever it is you need- the England trip, college, college needs, whatever. I was completely blown away by God's love and providence for me. I can't be grateful enough for the generosity of this family and the Lord's grace to His children.
“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you." Matthew 7:7

  1. Wow! What a post! I HAPPENED to text you today because I couldn't get to Maddie's blog. When I found out you had a blog as well, I promptly went to check it out. I read your gracious and kind words and burst into tears. They were such an encouragement to me. I've felt defeated lately by the seemingly constant ungratefulness of the girls. I'm sure your mom had some days like this, but look at how you all grew up to love The Lord! That is our ultimate goal, to raise girls that love and live for Him! Can't wait to keep up with u via your blog. Love you lots, Aunt B
