Watching God Provide

"... your Father knows what you need before you ask him." Matthew 6:8

The truth of this verse has struck me over and over lately. As I have thought back over the last few years I've noticed a recurring trend... God's provision. How? Well, He has moved people into our lives who love and care about our son. He has provided advocates... they have shown up in the form of teachers. I see God choosing specific people who have taken active roles in teaching, coaching, and counseling us as we navigate each grade. I have been awed by two women in particular who have invested great amounts of time, energy and effort into helping my son. I can not imagine what the last few years would have been like without Ms. Lesley. Her loving and nurtuing heart has been a true blessing. I believe that long before we ever stepped foot in school, God had already put this lady in place. He knew what we needed long before we ever prayed about it. Our teacher this year is awesome... she is understanding, and totally dialed in.

What amazes me is the details. So many details and yet with every need that arises there He is... providing and guiding. That's God. And you know what... my son see's it too. He recognizes how blessed he is... And he realizes how important it is to have an adovcate... he also knows that his number one advocate is not his mother, father or teachers... it is God! God is revealing himself to my son as we walk this journey. That is priceless!

As you think back over your journey where do you see God's provision? Where has He met your need? Where has He shown himself faithful? I'd love to hear your stories. I believe one of the most important things we can do is share what God has done and is doing in our lives. It builds our faith, and it reminds us to constantly look for God in every situation we encounter.
