24!!

My birthday is on saturday!!!!!!  BIRTHDAYS ROCK! :o)

fall into my lap

So the whole time I’ve been here I’ve really been learning how to pray and wait for God’s provision.  It’s mainly been with money, but today some pretty cool things happened.  I found out this weekend that I have to move out of my house and into a smaller room in the visitors compound.  **there is a lot of shifting around here as long term missionaries come and go, my move is making room for a couple** For a lot of reasons, this will be a very uncomfortable move, but I’m keeping my head up and very stubbornly telling myself I cannot carry about with a foul mood.  So, I checked out my room today, and in some ways I am looking forward to it :o)  I noticed two things in the room that I will need (or maybe want lol): a desk and a mirror.  I instantly decided to pray about it and let God give me what I need, knowing those are not things to worry over.  Well later on in the day, a fellow missionary told me about a desk that can go in the room!  Ha!  How awesome is that :o)  I actually laughed out loud when she told me because it was just too cool.  *I’m still praying about the mirror!*  Well this is really silly, but, I also prayed for more chocolate.  Haha, crazy I know!  But anyway, the only sweets I have here are chocolates and the bar I’ve been chipping away at in the refrigerator is getting very small.  I’m negative in money right now, so I knew I wouldn’t be buying chocolates any time soon.  Well!!  At the meeting tonight John & Sandra gave all the missionaries chocolate bars!!  Woohoo!  I’ve been learning how to see God as my Father recently, and little lavishing gifts like these make me feel like His beloved daughter. I love how God lets things fall into my lap.   


I’m trying to keep track of these answered prayers, specifically when I ask for things I can’t afford.  Today I got to #17.  That’s like one a week!
