The Toothbrush Story

Ok so a few weeks ago, I had an awesome experience. It reminded me of how sweet God is.

As I was getting ready for a busy Saturday, and I brushed my teeth, I heard a still small voice inside that said, "put your toothbrush in your purse." I rationalized in my mind, I don't need to do that because I will be coming home late, and will brush my teeth again before bed. I heard it again, "put your toothbrush in your purse." Well, my purse is small and is already overflowing, I thought. I will put it in my overnight bag in the car, just in case I need it.

This time I heard it louder than before ,"put your toothbrush in your purse."

Okay fine, if this is God speaking to me then I will find out why I need my toothbrush, and if it is not, than the worst thing is that I have been carrying it around all day with me.

So I attend Redeeming the Time for a few hours, then got directions to a baby shower. Upon my arrival I got to sit with some awesome ladies. We ate, and played some games. For the last game we turned to a pink page that said "What's in mommy's purse?" For each item that you had in your purse you earned a certain # of points. And guess what was on the list? Yes, TOOTHBRUSH. For 5 points and I was one of the winners (who would not have won without the toothbrush.)

I won a beautiful candle that smells like Carrot Cake.

God is so sweet. Yes He cares about the starving, the homeless, the desperate. But He also cares about YOU...and the little things that make your day that much more special.

Thank You Jesus! You are an awesome Husband!
