Faith the size of a mustard seed can move mountains, we shall ask and it will be given to you, ask without doubt.
Luke 17:20, Matthew 7:7, James 1:6
One of the most amazing things about God’s words is that they are true, the Word is unfailing.
Since I can remember, I had a deep prayer in my heart to be a mom, and as I grew up, the desire to be a stay-at-home mom grew. This kind of dream isn’t always well received so I did what I thought was the only option and I worked hard at every job I did. The food and beverage industry and hospitality were my jam, and many other jobs as well.
With a lot of bad choices and unwise spending in our younger days, by the time my husband and I were expecting our first baby, we saw a mountain of debt and no option of going from a two-income home to a one-income home.
But God!
Postpartum was a whirlwind of a whole new life, often I would find myself in worry, sadness and fear of the thought of what felt like a lifelong dream not being able to come to pass. Often I was able to turn that fear into prayer and belief, and asking God to make a way for me to be able to be a stay-at-home mom. I would rock my newborn baby in my arms and pray, and in my heart of hearts knowing God heard me, that he had plans for a future and hope, that He would provide and even if it didn’t get to be me as his full-time care, I knew he would provide someone safe and that would meet or exceed our expectations. Asking and believing for a miracle even when the circumstances showed no way.
I held my 6-week-old baby and leaving him now was unimaginable. My heart broke for the mamas that have had to. Thankfully our temporary assistance was still being received but almost every day I prayed the same prayer and thanked God for the opportunity and moments we were having.
Then one day I received a phone call from a friend. Asking if we knew anyone who would be willing to move onto a wedding venue to do maintenance in exchange for rent. I said, “Yes! possibly us!”
It took a while for the details to settle but that opportunity has made what seemed impossible, possible! With God, all things are possible for those who believe and trust in him!
Even on the hard days, I feel so grateful to be home with my baby.
Now as I sit in the last month of that blessing, we are moving into another blessing! My husband was laid off and kept believing in a job even better than the last one. People kept saying “Just work at a restaurant”. Although he was willing, he believed and knew that God had something great in store! We were able to dip into savings in the meantime, and then through many trials and blessings, he got a wonderful job with so many great aspects, the list would keep you here much longer! But God is so good and answered even the unspoken desires of his heart! We will be moving into a new place, and I will still be home with our sweet baby!!
With God, and only with God, are all things possible!
I would love to hear a testimony from you! Or a prayer request, what can I join you in believing for?
