This seems to have
been the best year of my life, and this week was the cherry on top. God has been so good in so many little and
big ways. For example, I suddenly
decided I wanted to buy a camera NOW. :)
That’s kind of out of character for me, but I'm so glad I did this time. I
had been praying about going to a meeting this summer, and it seemed like it
wouldn't be working out for me to go.
Then Friday (the day I was to get my camera by FedEx) daddy woke me up
saying that I had a ride to the WV meeting if I want to go. My sister and I left 4-5 hours later, the
camera still in the box. I had worried
about it all morning, and it came moments
before we left. In the meantime our ride
to WV--my mom’s cousin and his wife—were waiting around at the house for their
daughter-in-law to get back so she could tell them bye. At least that was the story they told—I choose
to believe that they were waiting for FedEx to arrive (though they knew nothing
of me getting a camera). Isn’t that
amazing? I feel so blessed and humbled
by the goodness of God.
Well, I came back
from the meeting with a soul full of encouragement and challenge and a 4GB
memory card full of memories and mountains.
I couldn’t wait to look at the pictures on my computer. Last night, I finally got to look at them,
but was given a rude reminder that my Adobe trials (what I use for editing) had
run out. I had no idea when they would
be arriving in the mail—well guess what FedEx brought this morning? Could a girl be any happier over such little
blessings?
Again, I want to
thank the Lord for the gifts he seems to be showering on me. I think he’s trying to tell me to trust his
timing. I know that no matter how long I
wait for something, God really does have the perfect timing.
Blessings,
Alyssa
He sure does. :) -M
