Just a Carseat?

Apparantly the Lord saw it necessary to provide a brand new, still in the box with the plastic, Britax carseat for our family. Are we surprised? No. The Lord has been so faithful to us in material provision when we have had no idea how in the world we were going to make it work so no, we weren't surprised. Are we more thankful and overwhelmed than words can express? Yes.



This is eventually what we were going to have to purchase for Grey when Tucker graduates from his infant seat. It converts to a booster which will work for the rest of his carseat years. We were probably not going to buy something nearly this expensive but we are not complaining! I knew that this was going to be a pretty big purchase somewhere down the road but just figured it would work out when the time came.



I have been studying the life of Jesus in Matthew. He encounters so many different people in His time here on earth. One way He classifies them is those with "little faith" and those with "great faith." I have been trying to figure out which category I fit in as His child. Is my faith like the disciples who walked so closely with him but still doubted His power and majesty. Or is it so great that I simply believe that if I touch the edge of His cloak, I could be healed. I do believe that He IS ABLE to do anything...and I mean anything. There are more times that I tend to wonder if He WILL do certain things. Most of those things are based on what I think is best when in reality, what I think is best is obsolete.



One thing is true that He can do whatever He wants. It's about His glory and not mine. I believe that in our lives He has received a tiny bit more glory (in the scheme of what He is worthy of) in providing for us in the incredible ways that He has. He will receive that glory anyway but chooses to bless us. I just wanted all of you to see the greatness of God in something so simple as a carseat. As I was reminded at bible study tonight, if he cares enough to provide something so simple as a carseat, how much more does He care for our souls?
