This story involves the following:
Coffee pot
Generator
Fan
Screw
Nail
I am divorced, single, and in love. For the last year or so, I have been getting up in the morning with a simple thought: “I wish I could have someone make coffee for me some mornings. It would be nice just to wake up and not have to do it myself all the time.”
Then one afternoon, a friend dropped by with a big gift wrapped in wedding paper. She said she was supposed to get me this gift and had to wrap it in wedding paper. This was kind of weird because I am not getting married, but I opened it. It was a Ninja coffee pot. Unlike my coffee pot at the time, it has the option to set a time for coffee to be made automatically. So I have been waking up to already brewed coffee every morning since.
I have been looking at generators for a while debating on whether or not to buy one. I haven’t felt ready to pull the trigger because they are so expensive. A sweet girl has been recently volunteering at the church I work at. We were talking and she brought up the fact she had a generator she didn’t need. It was the exact brand I have been looking into. She said I could have it!! What?!?
This heat wave has been nuts. As with everyone, I have been living in less than desirable temperatures in the house. I prayed for the Lord to help me figure out how to keep my house cool. I decided I needed to go get another fan. One day last week, a sweet little friend that has been helping me at church mentioned she had a brand new fan she didn’t need. I told her I needed to go get one. She said she would bring me the one she had!
I was driving down the road today and my bumper, which got pretty torn up in a past Colorado trip, decided to come loose again. When I got home I was going to fix it, but I wanted to do my dishes first. I saw a screw that I had found in my sink a couple days ago that fit the place I needed to fix. Why was a screw in my sink a couple of days ago? I have no idea, but it was what I needed to fix my bumper. The day I found it, I put it up on a sign by my sink.
As I am fixing my bumper, I looked at my tire and saw a nail right by the area I was fixing. I had a nail about a month ago in another tire and was wondering if I had anymore. It’s been a thought on my mind since getting it patched. I guess I found my answer. Had my bumper not come loose, I would have never seen that nail.
I mentioned above that I am in love.
Yes, absolutely smitten, head over heels in love. This Man sees me. He knows my every thought, worry, and concern. He comforts me when I am sad. He provides for my every need. He protects me. His sweet whispers bring healing. He holds me when I am weak. He calls me beautiful and His delight. I trust Him with everything I have. When I wake up He’s on my mind. When I fall asleep, He’s right there with me. I never want to be without Him. He is my absolute reason for breathing. Without Him I am nothing. He has my whole heart.
Forever together. Forever one. For all my life. My everything.
His name is Jesus.
