He cares about the little things.

Last Wednesday made five months that we have been living in Korea. =) I had noticed in my previous blogs that I had talked about some of the negative things about living in Korea. To be honest, this summer has not been the most comfortable for us for various reasons but the other day I was talking to a friend who told me a story of a need that God met for her and she said, "He cares about the little things." I started to think of all the little things that God has done for me throughout my life but also since we've been in Korea. We truly do serve an awesome God!
So just to name a few...

The biggest in my mind is providing us with a new apartment. We had some issues with our other one and so we prayed a lot and honestly just waited to see what God would do and He answered our prayer. I am still amazed when I think of how He cares for us and provides.

This summer was hot, humid and rainy. Living in an apartment without a/c can be miserable and mildew can start to grow on everything. Your walls, table, clothes, etc. Thankfully we got through it but when we moved into our new apartment it just so happened to come with a/c. Which means no more sticky apartment and mildew! Such a huge blessing.

God provided us with a bible study group. This is something Teddy, Lisa and I have been wanting since we came to Korea. We even thought about starting our own. In June God answered our prayer. We met a girl from church who surprisingly lived close to us and invited us to her bible study group which we have been a part of ever since and love it!

God provided us with a church that we love! This is such an answered prayer for us because we just wanted to find a church where we felt like we belonged and we instantly felt that at Jubilee.

God provided me with clothes!! This sounds silly but clothes are a big passion of mine and I was told before coming to Korea that "unless your a size six" you won't be able to find clothes but God provided Uniqlo and other awesome stores and I am so thankful!

The last one that I can think of is actually for Teddy. God provided him with RedBull. He loves this energy drink, which I think is grose and tastes like sweet tarts. We found it at a foreign food mart and visit there often.

So I leave you with this verse ...
"Which of you, if his son asks for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you, then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good gifts to those who ask him! --Matthew 7:9-10

What good gifts has God given you lately ?
