We still haven’t heard anything about Josh’s scholarship. You know, the one that makes up half his income? “Sometime early April” is almost over.
Quick, read me some verses about God providing. The one about the lilies of the field would do nicely.

You will be fine. God has amazingly provided for you before, and he will again. If the scholarship doesn’t come through, something else will- whether it be another job for Josh, more kids to watch during the week, an amazing jump in blog revenue, a super-inexpensive apartment, or something equally miraculous. God always comes through, and, whatever happens, God is still good. Whatever happens, it will surely not be bad, as nervous as you may be.
You know, I learned with Gabriel’s life and death that it was easier to remember that the biggest promise of God is not that He will provide, or that He will make a way, but that whatever does happen, He will be with us in it.
It may be good, and maybe not so good. But God will be there every step of the way. And He will still be God. No matter what.
I repeat this one to myself a lot when I really hurt and feel abandoned.
I know that my redeemer lives. And that in the end he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been stripped from me, yet in my flesh I will see God.
Job 19:25-26
“And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.”
~Matthew 6:27-29
