simple truth

Well this past Wednesday we went to Grapevine for Z's grill. Not like cookin grill, but for his teeth. This was the third oral surgeon he has seen, and we have finally decided to just go with a guy here in Waco. So the year long process should begin soon to get his implant in:) As we were driving from Grapevine to Fort Worth to meet his grandparents, my mind started racing, as usual. I started thinking "we're already paying off school debt and now we gotta throw a few thousand dollars and some for the teeth...ahhhh...!!!" But as I was thinking this, and this hasn't been the first time... my thought pattern was interrupted, which is not usual. I started to think "ok God is my provider. He knows how much we need. He always knows how much we need." And I had a huge "ah-ha" moment. Instead of choosing the spiral down, negative Nancy path, I chose to trust that God is true to His Word and He is my provider. Isn't that what faith is anyway? Choosing to believe that even in my emotions and blatant circumstance, God is still true and faithful. He is bigger than how I feel or what I see. I've been chewing on this all week, and I'm so thankful for the little experience of hope He gave me/showed me on Wednesday. "Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see." Hebrews 11:1
