My computer hutch sits to the left of our front door/porch/porch cover w/uprights. Birds alight and check out the area for nest possibilities -- I've seen some with bright yellow breasts, coral cheeks, profile of a dove. They come in pairs, and seem to talk to each other. "Well, I think we could --" "Oh, no, hon, that's where those dogs come out!" -- "What about here? Hidden --" "Well, let's look around first." "OK, if nothing else grabs our attention --" "Remember, it must be spacious, cuz I have lots of babies!"

Last Friday we didn't have school, so we took the math test on Thursday. I didn't like that because I can't study on Wednesdays. Wednesdays after school I have piano lessons and after that I go to church; I don't get back until 9:30PM. So I was thinking about not going to church and staying home to study, but then I changed my mind because Jesus is more important then math, yuh know?. So I was really temted to cheat on the test. I have math 2nd pd. and I was getting ready to write down all the formulas on my arm during 1st pd. But I didn't, cheating is easy but it's not Godly. So I when to class ready to fail the test, and as the teacher handed out the test he said, "you may use your notes and your calculators":o ..this is coming from the guy who thinks that calculators should be "banned", he's never let us use notes or calculators on a test before. Then I realized God had it all under control because I chose him over math, and I chose not to cheat. , I'm still smiling about it.

Thats awesome Stefania, I love it when God comes thru for and encourages us in the little things and the big things .

I had a simmiliar experience just in the last week, We have jackets given to us as part of the uniform for work, and the company is folding and we must hand back our iniforms.
Well i had the jacket with my stuff near the front counter where alot of other pll stuff was and someone had taken it, grrrrrrr.
So i seen the manager and he gave me a second hand one that needed repair, so thankyou God i had another one to keep me warm.
I took it home and washed it coz it stunk hee hee.

Well i left my jacket in the bus i was driving ( grrr ) and so i had the person contact him on the radio and ask him to return it and lock it away, and he did .
I came in the next morn and it had been stolen again grrrrrr.
So i went out and just spoke to Lord and said im not going to let this ruin my time with you and not going to let it make me angry ( as it was a bit of a battle for me )so i forgave the person and just praised God and prayed to him, Well when i returned to the depot the manager was there and i explained to him what happened.
There were no Jackets left and i would have to pay for another if i couldnt produce one without the logo on it ( we could keep them without the logo on it )when the company dissolved,
We look and lo and behold there was one jacket that had been handed in and it fit me perfectly and it was brand new, all the other jackets had been taken away, I couldnt believe it it was the hand of God testing me and i came out with a brand new one Praise the Lord

Wow, that is amazing. How awesome, it inspires me to be obedient to God.

Stefania and Gentileone's experiences as written just above..........

Yes, God is good and He is faithful to us. Pretty amazing to realise that He desires to be Lord of our lives, present and active in all the little things as well as the big. I find that without His help, the little things sometimes might grow into big, unmanageable things which would be really daunting.

Praise Him for He loves us. That's enough to make one smile, isn't it?
