Hungry

I am so hungry for God's presence in my life. I missed my quiet time with Him this morning (I forgot to set alarm clock!) and I am missing it so much right now. At least I have my Bible study tonight. He is so amazing! Since my life has been turned upside down I have last over 20lbs and all of my cloths are just way too big. I look like a little girl playing dress up in my mommy's cloths! Anyway, this weekend I hit the Goodwill and hard! I needed cloths and I am not ashamed to shop at Goodwill. It's fun and there is so much variety! Anyway, I got two brand new purses, a pair of brand new shoes, 8 pairs of brand new socks, 8 pairs of pants and 19 shirts all for about $110! I practically have a "new to me" wardrobe on such a small budget. For the past few weeks I have been praying that I would be able to get some new clothes for winter since I was out of everything and I didn't know how he was going to provide it for me. I thought maybe a family member would donate me some money, but this is better because I did it with my money. He helped me find things that fit (and almost everything I tried on did!) and of course since it was Goodwill everything was super cheap! The thanksgiving in my heart just wants to gush forth and just everyone how He is blessing me! It's little things here and there, but if I just keep my eyes and heart open to see His hand move, I will every time.

I am so thankful and every time I begin drift into the world, I call out his name and just run back into his presence. He puts all of my fears and doubts to rest. He clams my spirit and brings my mind and thoughts back to Him. I am so grateful. I am so blessed in the midst of this storm.
