Day 140 - Perfect timing

There are certain times when the presence of God is so apparent, that I cannot see how anyone can deny it. For us right now that presence may not be in the shape of answering our prayers by giving Mark a job, in fact things are continually getting harder instead of better for us. No matter how hard Mark tries or how much I pray for it, our ship is sinking financially, deeper and deeper. But God's presence is still around us doing the things that He wants to happen in our lives right now. He is still providing for us in other ways. Just within the last 5 days, when we have been feeling our lowest, two people have been beyond generous towards us. These things don't happen on their own, people don't just help you out at the same time when you need it the most without you even telling them how tough things are. God orchestrated the whole things with a feeling in their heart and a whisper in their ear. You can call it a coincidence, but it's harder for me to have faith in a coincidence than faith in God. God has perfect timing.

Today I am thankful for the hearts of others and for the ways that God does provide for us, even if it is not the way we want it to be.
