[unexpected blessings]

well, today has been an odd day.

first, it started out getting up at 4:30am to get into work at the Gap by 6am. yes, for those of you who didn't know... I've started a "temporary" job at the Gap in order to provide Pete and I with a little bit of income while I search for other, shall I say, more suitable work for someone such as myself! :) But.... in the meantime, it's great!

so in order for God to keep both Peter and I (although admittingly probably more me) completely dependent on Him, God's allowed some really awesome and unexpected blessings to happen in our life lately that I'd just like to share.

drum roll please.....we got a kitchen table! Sounds silly right.... but actually... after having sat on the floor for dinner after dinner the past 2months, a kitchen table was a HUGE blessing. I (Sarah) actually received in the mail some money that I was not expecting from my old company in Milwaukee, so with that we were able to get the table... Praise God!

Then, to our complete surprise, we received an letter in the mail from an incredible gentlemen that both Peter and I barely know, who felt led by the Lord to help us out while in Seminary. He graciously sent us more money then we know what to do with... and with that again... I was humbled by our Sovereign Lord, who knows all things and who does not have the roller coaster faith that I sometimes have.

All in all... I've really been learning from God that sometimes life throws you unexpected curves...hardships shall I say. I know first hand what thats like at the moment. But then again.... sometimes life throws you unexpected blessings as well- I think Paul knew full well what he was saying in Phill 4:19 when he says "And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus". AMEN!
