God always provides!!

David was sleeping, the kids were playing quietly, and I thought it best to head to Costco to grab a few things. I headed out and noticed the stop light wasn't working. I called Paul and found out that the house electricity was out too. I went on my trip not thinking anything of it. I decided to also stop by the grocery store for a few other items for the week. Little did I know, I was coming home with a van filled with groceries and no electricity. I found out only after I texted Paul about getting milk that he couldn't get through to IREA and there was no info on their website about an outage.

As I drove away from King Soopers, I started praying for God's help. I thanked Him for providing the funds for me to purchase the groceries, and asked Him to provide electricity so our food didn't go bad. I told God that I believed this was important to Him as He asks us to be good stewards with our resources and now I needed Him to help me do that. I then trusted God to come through knowing and I had no worries.

As I got to the intersection by our home, a police officer was still directing traffic. I turned on our road and immediately saw an IREA truck. Tears filled my eyes as I saw that truck knowing God quickly answered my prayer. See, God does care!! I know not everyone believes in God, but to me, that prayer answered was just one more example of how much God loves my family. I thanked Him as I pulled into my driveway for answering me so quickly.

We must now have faith and continue to pray for rain. I know rain is not in the forecast, but we need rain to help fight the wildfire in the mountains. As I have learned from Elizabeth's Cubbies verses, "even the winds and the waves obey Him." we need God to bring rain to the mountains. Will you join me in praying for rain? If God cares about my groceries how much more will he care about thousands if homes and wildlife? Please pray for rain!!
