God is in the details!

But God never overlooks a single one. And he pays even greater attention to you, down to the last detail-even numbering the hairs of your head! So don’t be intimidated by all this bully talk. You’re worth more than a million canaries. Luke 12:7 Sometimes it’s easy to forget how much God cares for us in the middle of trials, overwhelming circumstances, and just plain hard times. BUT HE DOES CARE!

My daughter had dreamed of her wedding day with her daddy her whole life. They had talked about her wedding day, the dreamed wild and crazy ways of how that day would happen. My husband would even watch Say yes to the dress and David Tuterra’s wedding show. It was really a beautiful time of father and daughter dreaming together. Looking back I see God all over that day. Even though Ronn would not be here for her beautiful day, God had allowed them through the years to plan, dream, and talk about her dress. Having to plan Sydney’s wedding day without Ronn was one of the hardest things for us. BUT GOD!

He brought a beautiful community around us to help us plan her dream day! They went above and beyond! We could not have done that without them!! Before Ronn passed he told me that he had opened an account for Sydney’s wedding dress. When we went to pick out her dress, which was just a beautiful day. God was in the details! When the total was given to me, it almost took my breath away because the total was the EXACT amount in the account! I stood there in shock and waited till we got home and told Syd, your daddy bought your dress!! We both just stood there and cried at God’s provision. BUT GOD!

The day of her wedding came and we woke up with the threat of Covid lurking in the background. My prayer was God please let there be people there when the chapel doors open. This day is hard enough God, please. I looked out on our patio and there flew a red cardinal!! They had been hanging around our house since Ronn’s passing. I stood there and just smiled. As the large wooden chapel doors open, there stood a packed house there to celebrate with us. When the reception was almost over, the president announced starting tomorrow no more gatherings over 50 people. We had close to 200 guest. BUT GOD!

Sydney came to me and said, “ Mom, I prayed that God would let me see a yellow butterfly today.” For those who don’t know, yellow was Ronn’s color. I told her I believed God would do that for her. As she sat in the chair getting her hair and makeup done at the chapel, outside the doors, you guessed it a yellow butterfly flew by. BUT GOD!

But God often goes above and beyond, and he showed off that day. After the first look, they went to a park near by to take pictures. Out of no where, this little girl came running up to Sydney with a yellow flower that was the same kind of flower in her wedding bouquet!!! You can’t make that stuff up!! BUT GOD!

I share all of this to say, even though we often have to walk through incredibly hard times, times where we think we can’t take another step, God is there, right in the middle of all the broken pieces. His word says, “ I will NEVER leave or forsake you.” And God is able to bless you abundantly, so that in all things at all times, having all that you need, you will abound in every good work. Jesus holds ALL things together! So friend whatever you are facing today, may you be encouraged God sees you, He loves you, and He is working on your behalf.

I would love to hear how God had worked in the details of your life. Let’s encourage each other and spur one another on!
