double doubting done

I want to share another experience we recently had with the supernatural (above the norm) provision of God.

We have two kids now... tada! Ezra is obviously a baby and can't walk and Nora can walk, but she's still small enough that she doesn't listen so well and will just run everywhere. So I was looking into buying a double stroller. Some friends of ours generously gave us one a few months ago, but it was a side-by-side one which was next to impossible to maneuver through the grocery store aisles. So we sold it (they said that we could do whatever we wanted with it) and wanted to buy one that had the kids sitting one in front of the other- more narrow and able to fit through aisles for shopping. 

I had been looking on Marktplaats (it's the Craig's List of Holland) and had found some nice strollers, but there was one in particular that I liked- it was a Chicco Together. I emailed with the man who was selling it, he was willing to give me a discount on the price and I almost bought it-- but in the end we decided not to because it was in Amsterdam and that was just too far to drive to buy a stroller. So I let it go and I'm pretty sure somewhere in my heart I was asking God for a stroller like that one. 

A week or so later, I was looking online again and I saw another one of these Chicco Togethers. But this time it was in Harderwijk (much closer) and the name of the person looked familiar-- it turned out it was someone from our church. I emailed with them and in the end they decided to just give us the stroller! The nice thing was that they didn't even know that we were missionaries living from gifts-- they just wanted to bless us! 

So God saw my desire/need and met it in a way that I didn't expect at all- but it was so nice! Thank you Papa!

May He provide for your needs and desires in an above the natural way today!
