The Diaper Story

I woke up one morning and was surprised at our helper's confession- "Koya, wala na pong diapers ang mga bata"... Hmm, kakabili ko lang noong isang araw ah ( I whispered to myself)?

That day was special because I am out of budget already. I did not want anyone to know. Not even Connie. I did not want to tell anyone. I wanted to ask God that day. As simple as a few diapers, but that should make a difference, specially that I have known my God to be faithful from the start. Will he fail me this time- with just a very small thing I am asking? He has provided for big things in the past, will he let me down this time?, I asked.

The whole morning, I was just at peace. No one heard a word from me. I was asking the Lord, to please don't delay. My obedience this time is to trust that He will provide- JUST IN TIME.

The day was about to end. Nothing spectacular is happening just yet. But I don't know, my faith is saying to patiently wait.

Now I am going home. No word still. Haven't shared to anyone. My confidence is on God. I love the kids and I did not want them to be uncomfortable without their diapers.

I reached home. No diapers. But as I sat and closed my eyes, God has provided- no strings attached. It's yours, for the diapers.

I can't brag of anything that I have because it is all from God. I can only brag about His faithfulness, of the Truth that He indeed answers prayers. After all, if He can't be Lord of all, what's the point of all these? I loved Him more because He is true to His promises. And he never fails. He's always on time. Thank you Lord! All glory, honor, worship, praise is Yours, forever and ever.
