Oh ye of little faith...

Sometimes, I forget how truly amazing my God is. In fact, amazing doesn't even seem to be the right adjective to use. My God is a provider. He comes through even when I feel I have the situation under control.

Today I found out the cost of my car repair - almost $600 - is being covered. I don't want to say how or who, but I know ultimately it's a gift from God.

When I found out, my jaw dropped, and I was completely speechless. For those of you who know me personally, that doesn't happen very often.

I don't try to figure God out often. In fact, I probably shouldn't ever, but I wonder if this was God telling me that while I desire a husband and companionship, he IS my companion. I'm not walking through this life alone. I'm not walking through car repairs alone. I'm not walking through being stranded in a Burger King drive-thru alone. He's there.

Sometimes, faith and grace are so hard to understand because they're such abstract concepts in the realm of God's love. But today, God made them a little more tangible for me. I only hope that I will personally be able to make a gift that's equally tangible to someone else weak in faith someday.

My faith in God was strengthened today, and I learned a little more the meaning of grace.
