A few months ago we started redecorating the house. The
first room we did was the guestroom. We moved all the fabric items from the
master bedroom to the guestroom. I love the guestroom, but it means our room is
a huge work in progress. I know what I want it to look like but it’s not a
priority so it is slow going.
However after this weekend we are one step closer. After two
trips to Memphis in one day we have an almost empty garage and our new bed!
Seeing that currently we have squares of paint samples on the walls and
temporary drapes (one isn’t even hung right) a bed may not be that big deal to
most but it made me happy.
Here is the real reason it makes me so happy, I practiced
patience and got the perfect bed. I’m not trying to brag, I have NO patience at
all, so this was a huge thing for me.
When I thought out the plan for the bedroom I wanted a
specific looking bed. I started looking for beds but didn’t see any like I had
envisioned. Then I found one that kinda looked like what I wanted in a magazine,
I looked it up to find the price….$1,999! I didn’t love it that much.

So I waited and waited. Then on my birthday, my mom texted
me a picture of the perfect bed! Her friend was moving and auctioning off a lot
of her old furniture. We bid and won the bed for about $150.
The morning I was driving up to Memphis to pick up the bed,
I had a thought. The Lord was probably teaching me to be patience. I could have
gone out and bought a bed I didn’t really like and then I would have wasted
that money. God says he will provide. He doesn’t say he will provide
necessities and we are on our own for everything else, He says he will provide,
everything. Most would think it’s trivial for Him to bother providing the bed I
dreamed about. But doesn’t that make Him so much more amazing? He even cares
about the little things.
All I can say is that I am so thankful for the new bed and I
will try to have patience in the future.
