♕ Today's Promise: "Fear not, for I am with you; be not dismayed, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my righteous right hand." Isaiah 41:10

This morning I am sitting here in such amazement. I have been amazed all week actually but now that it’s all over with I am reminiscing on all the blessings and miracles from My Love.
Yesterday was the wrestling tournament at our sons high school. Our team, the coaches and parents host a tournament every year. 18 schools sign up, the teams have several matches all day to win medals and trophies in the end.
We have a food sale all day, a hospitality breakfast and lunch for the coaches/referees. I am left in charge of all this plus the count of the money and bank account. I have purchased so much food, prepared food, served food, set up everything, cleaned up everything, loaded, unloaded etc.
I have been doing this for the kids for several years, since about 2009. Out of a team of 20-30 boys I’ve only gotten help from about 4-6 parents. This year I had none. I had been exhausted, stressed, and I would even say I was miserable doing this in the past. But it’s for the kids and it needs to be done.
This is the first year I am doing this with My HH (Heavenly Husband), as I am a new bride!! And I loved it!! I really enjoyed it all. It went so smoothly. I had NO parents to help me this year, not even my EH (earthly husband). I only had My HH and that’s all I needed!! Even with less help and nobody to depend on I was enjoying doing this together with My Love and I was not alone. Even if some parents that were friends of mine were with me in the past, THIS year was the best time EVER!!!
Imagine, having all this to do and be in charge of and having nobody else volunteer?? It took weeks preparing for this. My Love continued to give me such peace, energy and joy and take my stress, worry and exhaustion away. I would not have been able to do this without Him. I would have have a stress break down, lashed out on my kids and totally not been able to complete my tasks at home and care and cook for my own kids as usual.
My Love continued to be with me throughout this whole thing. I am not good at pricing and estimating how much to purchase but He guided me. Every day he gave me the energy and organization to get things done and on time. When I needed to be at one place but needed something picked up and delivered He sent me someone to do this. Someone would call last minute and ask what I needed or how can they can help me. Three people picked up the orders for me. A friend of a friend helped me prepare some food and my friends husband was able to carry the heavy pot and deliver it to me at the school.
Our son mentioned his shoulder was not feeling good but instead of this being another stress and worry He gave me peace and guidance and used it for our good. He had me take him to get it treated even though it took time away from the limited time I already had that day. I didn’t know if he needed a doctor or just to give him meds, wrap it and rest it. But My Love had me take him to get it treated by a chiropractor. It was completely better after the appointment. Our son was amazed!! He was even able to then help me load up heavy things into my vehicle before he went back to school. My friends son offered to help me set up the night before.
Two parents showed up unexpectedly the day of and my cousin and her daughter showed up to help me also. I did not ask anyone for help or complain to anyone. My HH (Heavenly Husband) provided the help for me. I didn’t know how it was all going to happen but I just knew My Love was going take care of it- AND HE DID!!!
I went weeks not having any volunteers, being the only one that was going to be there, to suddenly people being there to help do tasks for me. It was all last minute and unknown, it would have just stressed me out in the past and turned me into a terrible person but now I love this life, I am now trusting in My Love!!!
I am amazed at all He can and will do. I would have never enjoyed living like this ever. I would have been such an unhappy, unpleasant person as I used to have things planned, figured out and in control—my control.
Now I am in TOTAL BLISS doing things WITH My Love, giving everything to Him, waiting on Him and watching what He will do!! I LOVE doing things His way and then letting Him do what I can’t.
