My little brothers shared on how God helped them learn to read, how God planned their friendships, and so many other amazing examples on God's ever-faithful plan.
I thought about how God gave us have neighbors back when I was still a toddler who became missionaries right across from where my mama was born in Asia. How those neighbor's family became our business partners to this day.
Then my mama shared a story about when she was a little girl escaping a communist country.
"When we were in a refugee camp, somehow my dad found some grapes for us to eat. These grapes were the best thing I had ever tasted. Heaven on earth. I thought that I would do anything for more of these delicious grapes. I decided then and there that I would marry a grape farmer. For a six-year-old, that's a pretty awesome dream. Well, life kept moving. We emigrated to America, we had God-ordained people caring of us, and my life in the States began. I became a Christian, I went to college, then later on I met an awesome guy. We married and some ten years later moved back to my hometown- where I first lived when I came to America. My husband, who dreams of being a farmer, started an orchard and numerous gardens.... and a vineyard. Last night, when I was harvesting grapes, I thought back to when I was a little girl, tasting those heavenly grapes. God remembered my dreams, and fulfilled them beyond my imagination. Even with the little things, God amazes me with His faithfulness."
Doesn't that story just warm your heart? That God has your life planned so greatly, that He will take your childhood dreams and turn them into reality?
Psalm 37:4, 7a “Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him.”
