God’s providence is perfect. After reaching this difficult, yet wonderful place of surrender and brokenness, He reached out and showed me a little bit more about himself. As I wrote about before, having my wallet and phone stolen has really taken its toll on me. I’ve been humbled and embarrassed by my inability to take care of myself and I’ve been confronted with my own pride and weakness.

Well, today I was really reaching a point of peace with it and talked to my good buddy Blake about a similar situation he went through. He lost his wallet at a friend’s house and could not find it for months. He refused to give in and kept telling himself he didn’t need help. He would not get a new credit or debit card because he did not want to give in and admit that it was gone. About 6 months later, after being humbled by God time and again, he was finally reaching a place of brokenness. He was telling a friend about the whole situation and how he was finally coming to terms with the situation and where God was leading him.  When lo and behold he received a call… the girl whose house he lost his wallet at found it sitting in the middle of the floor in her living room. They had torn her house apart looking for it but it was nowhere to be found, and then it just appears in the middle of her room six months later. God freaks me out. Well, suffice to say, twenty minutes after talking to Blake, I checked my mail and discovered a new credit and debit card in my mailbox. They were not supposed to be here for days… yet they arrived twenty minutes after I heard Blake’s story. 

My experience is obviously not as dramatic as Blake’s, but God’s message to me was still incredibly strong. I got to see the face of God today, and I am blessed. Praise Jesus
