I was petty and He still blessed me!

The weirdest thing just happened to me. It has not happened in a while, but He is so utterly amazing in all He does right?
My children started attending a youth group every two weeks on a Friday. They are enjoying it so much because they are meeting children that are like-minded which is so difficult to find these days. A small group and they have become fast friends. Even my son, Owen, is interacting.

It is a school holiday for the children now and with my planning, I got things mixed up and so my children would not be able to attend their gathering for a while because of how the weekends would turn out. I was trying to figure out how am I going to rectify my mistake without upsetting the whole plan because let me just admit that during the December holiday, Ian and Elize (my former husband and his wife) made the schedule and when they wanted to change it, I said sorry they cannot because it was already planned and I had plans. Ugh, I know, thinking back I probably could have accommodated them. With this in mind, I knew that I will not be able to change it.

I was sitting outside talking to Him about a lot of other things, but then when this subject came to mind, I said, “You know what, this is not a big deal, why am I making a fuss over this?” I did not ask Him to fix it because I realized how petty I was being.

I came back in, sat in front of my computer, and 5 minutes later my phone rang, it was Ian. He NEVER calls me when the children are with him, so my heart skipped a beat because immediately I thought something was wrong.

No, nothing wrong, he was ill and he wanted to take the children away, but because of his illness, they had to postpone. Would it be okay if he takes my week next week and I take the weekend after that? WHAT?!? Of course, it would.

I never asked my Husband to fix this, I admitted I was petty last December and confessed that I am making a bigger deal than it should be. Even through all of that, He still went ahead and fixed it. Can you believe it? I am sitting here dumbfounded and in awe, because His grace is not just sufficient, it is overflowing in ways I can never ever even expect to imagine.

If He takes the time to do this for me, how much more can He do for you, dear Bride? I cannot wait to hear.

Do you know what verse I read, just before I went to sit outside? Actually, two, let me share them:

“Instead of your shame you will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation they will shout for joy over their portion. Therefore they will possess a double portion in their land, everlasting joy will be theirs”

“O taste and see that the LORD is good; how blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!”
