So, we've had to apply for food stamps with our family 3 different times. (there's really no shame in it at this point) And so my story goes like this... Our third time applying was when we moved here (KC) and we were approved but it still takes weeks to actually get the card so you can buy groceries. We had just had Sophie and (being in a new place this is pretty awesome) people from our new church brought us meals to cover 2 whole weeks of food. These were people that we had not even met face to face yet.
And on the last Saturday that people brought us food, the EBT card came in the mail!
Why am I sharing this? Because we were really low on money and low on food, and even though it was the last day that the card finally came....it was the last day RIGHT when we needed it! I often think of these instances in our lives that may just seem like a nice little story, but the truth is this is real life. And God provides! It's good to remember God's faithfulness. It's those remembrances that help us to move on to the next thing.
God, keep it coming. That we may never be lacking anything.
