I will remember the deeds of the LORD.

I read the Bible, and I see God's faithfulness to His people everywhere. The Old Testament is covered in His loving pursuit of Israel, even in their open defiance. The New Testament brings in Jesus to fulfill God's "Special Rescue Plan" as Caleb's Bible reads. All throughout history God's been faithful to His children. He still is, even now, in a small subdivision in South Georgia.

(Most of this list shows God's faithfulness to provide financially, because of my hubby's job loss. We've been paying extra close attention.)


  • Got WIC two days before Donny was laid off. The appointment had been scheduled for months. 
  • Applied and was approved for a credit card for emergencies a few days before Donny lost his job. If we had waited, we'd have had no income. No income = no credit card. (We know that a credit card is dangerous water, but it's paid for the dogs' vet bill, grooming, and some groceries. We are treading thoughtfully.) 
  • Hubby's former employer gave us two extra weeks of pay PLUS an extra month of health insurance. 
  • During our extra month of insurance, Caleb had his four-month checkup at the Pediatrician's office. 
  • The day before our insurance ran out, Caleb had his one-and-only physical therapy appointment. (PT said he'll need to come back in a month, but she won't charge us to check up on him.) 
  • A part of Caleb's head is flat, so the PT said to let him sit in a Bumbo or exersaucer. Got both of these from my cousin just a couple of weeks ago. 
  • $200 was left in our mailbox inside an envelope that read, "We love you." From whom? We know not.
  • Family and friends have been extremely generous. They've bought us food and Caleb formula. They've given us gift cards, babysat for free, and hired Donny to work. 
  • We are receiving assistance to pay the last of our hospital bills, possibly all of it.
  • One of my besties has the same eye prescription as me. She usually wears her glasses, so she has given me months and months worth of contacts.
  • We have just enough money to pay our bills for April.
  • With our Tax Return we were able to give to our church AND MTWJapan. 
I'm sure that God has done immeasurably more than this, but this is what we've noticed. We do have small eyes.

In response to what God's done for us, I say with Asaph: "I will remember the deeds of the LORD; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. I will ponder all your work and meditate on your mighty deeds [...and] tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the LORD, and his might, and the wonders he has done." (Psalm 77:11-12; 78:4b)
