Sweet Sunrise Surprise

As the rosy pink colors were coming up this morning,  God's Sweet Spirit was infusing the room.  The Worship Music opened the door for Him.
There's nothing like His presence.
The Taste of Him was made even sweeter to me because of the bitter cuds I had been chewing on.  Yes,  my own fault!  I was having a diet of intrepidation and bitter 'why me?' weeds.
So,  God spoke to me about my Arch Enemy to kind of slap me out of my mudgy reverie.
Our conversation went something like this:
God  "What do you think Satan wants for you?"
Startled,  I think and slowly reply,
"Well,  I think he wants me to live in fear."
God:   "And?"
Me:  "He wants me to be defeated, depressed and useless to You."....And gaining steam,  I thought of some other things my Enemy wants for me,  "Especially,  he wants me to quit." 
My thoughts returned to the grinding I've been going through...."But how I am going to get through this, Lord?"
"Be willing to bleed for Me."
"Oh,"...I think of Jesus and it still seems impossible, but I think of Him and His life....of how He knew the cross that He must bear,  but He was still "annointed with the oil of joy above His companions."
Then all this weak, wounded, and half defeated servant can say is.  "Ok."
But that is enough for Him.

Psalm 27:10  When my Mother and Father forsake me,  then the Lord will take care of me.
I have this friend who has a heart of compassion for children.
She often feeds all the neighborhood kids,  sometimes when her family barely has enough
for themselves.
She will often take in children and take care of them,  even though like I said,  she really doesn't
even have enough for her own family. 

So,  she has taken in a little baby, who is about one year of age.  She has been struggling to provide for her.  I have been helping her on and off with needs for the child, as I know the child has no one to care for it but my friend.  My friend called and needed some diapers and wipes for the baby.  She was coming to visit me later that day. 
I hung up the phone and knew that I couldn't provide much for her.  I prayed and asked the Lord what I should do.  In His still small voice,  He said to me,  I will provide....so I put it in God's hands and forgot about it. 

Later that day,  I had a friend stop by.  She had a new car that she wanted to show off to me.
  I said, "Shall we go for a cruise?"  and she said  "Sure."
As I got in, I moved a package from the passenger seat and my friend mumbled something about keeping diapers and things on hand for when she transports new mothers in the line of her work.  My eyes got kind of big and I asked her, before I could think to restrain myself,
"What size of diapers are they?"
"Size 4,  why?"  she asked me.
And then I explained about my friend needing the diapers.  She said,  "Go ahead, take them." 
....So this is how my God provided.
He always does, you know.

This is very new very me.  I am glad to finally have a
