Provision

I was thinking today about how blessed I am, God is so good. I have all that I need, He always provides; even when I do something stupid, He takes care of me. I am learning from my mistakes, but it is no longer something scary that I am dreading. I now have enough faith to realize that even when I do something that I should not have done, I am able to learn from it, and that the consequences though hard are for my good. The other day I spent a little bit too much money, something that I should not have done, and now I dont have what I wanted to have because of it, but I now know that I am ok, and that He will provide, and that I should be more careful. I had to take the time (which I had been avoiding) to make a budget for myself so that it does not happen again. I was a little bit worried, because my aunt is comming to spend the weekend with me, and though I had stuff for breakfast and dinner, I had nothing for lunch, but then Jesus reminded me that I had bought some food the other day on a whim and I had what I needed. He was providing for me before I knew that I needed it.
At the same time, I am loving having so little and being house poor (only for another month :) ) because I have a house, and I am content. I would rather have to be on a budget and forgo some things that I want and be content then buy everything that I want and still think that I need more. I know that this house is going to be a challenge, but I am excited to meet it, I am excited to learn from it, and I am excited to see what He will do through me, and what I can do for Him.
