Blessings from above

There are times in life where I truly wonder if God hears my prayers. Valleys in my walk where all I can see is confusion and doubt.

Then there are days where He just shows up in ways unexpected. Proves that He hears and cares about our every need. It is days like this that I am amazed that I ever doubted Him.

Like yesterday... Andy and I have been struggling financially... well, for the past four years basically. But recently, our financial status has taken an even greater downfall. Barely able to make rent and bills, we were not able to go to the grocery store this week, last week or this coming week.

And then God shows His faithfulness.

I came home from work yesterday to find EIGHT brown paper bags FULL of groceries on my kitchen table. Chicken, milk, eggs, butter, cereal, sugar, potatoes, apples, bananas, juice, laundry detergent, toilet paper, paper towels, mac & cheese, bread, beef, frozen pizza, frozen veggies..... and the list goes on. Apparently, my mother-in-law decided to give us her "house warming" gift... groceries! And her timing could not be more perfect!

God is good.
