Give us this Day our Daily Bread.

Lately I've been worrying a lot. Worrying about the summer. About finances. About how I am going to put gas in the car. How I'm going to pay off loans. How I"m going to go to Africa.

Those sorts of silly things.

This morning I woke up and did my usual routine. I had a few minutes and decided to read. I sat down and looked over at my journal collections.

I do this weird thing where I open up to the same day as today, but from last year. For example, today is March 25, 2011. I open up to March 25, 2010.

I kid you not this is what I wrote. "As for everything else in life, I don't know. I feel like I have let my guard down. And yet I feel very much at peace too. Yes, life is stressful. Academics pops into my mind, But then I remember that I have to set up two jobs this summer and come up with $1,000 for Ecuador. And buy a car. And somehow sell the Cadilac. It's safe to say I am overwhelmed."

I'm looking at this and reading this and I was like holy moly I feel this way right now.

And then I realized how faithful God is and was and will continue to be.

That semester last spring was the best semester grade wise.

I got both jobs last summer.

God provided above and beyond for Ecuador.

I got a car.

We sold the Cadilac.

I mean God took care of every single thing on that list.

I believe He will take care of everything on this years list. Not for the sake of me getting my way. No. To prove His faithfulness! I'm super excited to witness this! Oh my!

I had another thought too. Dang it. I hate when I forget something profound. I don't know. Alls I know is God is good. Forever and always. OH! I know what I was going to say.

In our western culture we always think we need SO freakin' much more then we actually need.

Gah! I don't. I know that much. I'm learning to be content friends. God provides what we need and may even some of what we want. He is good. He loves giving good gifts to His children.

That's all.
