Testimony Time - Pants
Just had an AMAZING thing happen!! I wore one of the last pairs of pants that sort of fit me now, that I've lost so much weight, last Friday to work. Had to use a belt to hold them on LOL As the day went on, I actually prayed for God to help show me a place or a type of pant to get, that would fit my tiny waist and hips and bottom that I still have - without having to be altered. Then I let it go.
Saturday, on my way home from a Birthday Celebration, I came in to our neighborhood a different way than normal. There was a house with a bunch of stuff in the front yard, with signs on them of FREE. We are looking for a dresser. There was one! However, it was a long, wide one and not a tall one like we would like to have. But I pulled over to look anyway. There were several baby items, Christmas things, a chair....normal stuff, that someone just wants to get rid of. I saw several bags on the ground, and assumed they were baby or children's clothing, due to the amount of baby stuff around. Then, I saw a jean fabric that caught my eye. So, I pulled it out. It looked really small! I looked at the tag: size 10. "Surly, this has to be kid size" I said out loud. Then I held it up to me. Hmmm, that just might fit. Ok, I put that on my arm, and started to look through the bag. Another one, and another, pretty soon, I had a full arm load and needed to go put it in my car. I came back and found even more! Sizes 8 and 10. When I got to the 2nd bag, I just looked in at a few tags to see if they were the same, and saw tops as well, size Medium. That's what I wear now! So, I took the whole bag! I figured, I could try them on, and if something didn't fit, I'd give it to my friend that volunteers at a place helping homeless people get back in to the work force. So, off I went.
I got home and began the "fashion show" for my Hubby. WOWZERS!!! I was being blessed BIG time!! I felt like a kid on Christmas morning! To my shock and surprise, nearly everything FIT!! I was asking for 1 maybe 2 pants to find to be able to wear - and the Lord blessed me with SO much more!!! I now have 9 pants, 9 shorts, 5 skirts, 5 tops, 1 dress, 1 zip-hoodie, 1 pull-over hoodie, and 1 windbreaker jacket. The zip-up hoodie is a Batman one - I finally have a Comic item to wear!! My first!
God is SOOOOO good!! He blesses way above and beyond what we ask for. He actually DELIGHTS in doing this to and for us!! I am SO humbled!! So thankful!! I want to call these items "Hand-me-ups" instead of hand-me-downs because, they came from above, and I want to look up and give thanks upward! Thank You Jesus for answering the desire of my heart more abundantly than I could have imagined!!!
