I was so Tired...and God was there...

I was so very tired today. You see I have a seven month old baby boy that is cutting his front teeth. It's quite the experience you know! Well, no we don't know because we can't remember what it is like to have teeth cutting through our gums. I know...way too much information. So, what comes with cutting teeth? Slobber, more slobber, possibly a runny nose and in my case; a child that has woken me up for three nights in a row. He has slept right beside me with his sweet little head on my pillow. I can't wait until his teeth pop through.

What happens when you haven't had enough sleep? Well, in my case anything. I went to Wally World this evening to pick up some nighttime supplies. All with hopes of helping my sweet n slobbery baby to sleep through the night. I pay, put the groceries in the car, drive home, and discover that I don't have my purse. Note: My purse not only contained my visa check card but, Trailhead Church's visa check card as well. I had forgotten to give it back to my husband after buying a few children church supplies the day before. I call Joshua and I tell him that I have to head back to the store, I left my purse in a buggy, outside, in the parking lot, at ten thirty at night. Awesome!

I am thankful that God is there right when you need Him. As I pulled away from my home, I wanted to cry. I wanted to cry hard. I decided that crying would get me nowhere but, prayer would get my purse back. So, I prayed. I pulled into the parking lot and like a crazy person asked every random stranger putting their groceries into their car if they have seen a brown patch work purse. And of course they hadn't . I ran into the store and asked the sweet older gentleman greeting at the door and he too did not have my purse. They just had to have it at the information desk, and they did! Thank You Jesus! This may not seem like a big deal to some of you. But, to a tired mom that has had snot and slobber rubbed on her clothes for the last three days, it's nothing short of a miracle.

I called my Mom and Dad to have them rejoice with me over my great blessing. My Dad had to add to the blessing that God even blesses Ding Dongs. Thanks Dad....

God was and is always there for us right when we need Him. It is amazing how He hears our prayers and answers them even when we are in Ding Dong mode. I just love the Lord!
