As I previously posted, HE PROVIDES! Yes, in HIS timing and yes, in HIS ways. NOT mine. I may think I NEED certain things, and God may not think so.
There are certain things I have prayed for for a long time. I'm talking years. And for whatever reason, He wants me waiting. And when those things happen - as I've prayed -- I can't help but GLORIFY GOD!!! Its obvious its His Hand. His timing. And my humbled heart. This couch is a small example of how God has blessed us recently. There are several other things lately that have happened that have just been EXCITING because I KNOW beyond a shadow of a doubt, GOD IS WORKING!!
God has been showing me how often I am NOT living fully focused on HIS purposes. How sometimes I am more concerned about what other people think of me than what HE thinks of me. How quickly I doubt, question, second-guess and falter. And despite that. Despite my unbelief, doubt and reluctance...I feel the tug at my soul...I am showered by grace, redemption and mercy. How can I NOT respond with FULL devotion, passion for Him and a desire to serve and live for Him?? After all, THAT IS OUR PURPOSE.

beautiful.....can't wait to take a nap on it....see if it qualifies! Happy for you!
Nice... like the color a lot!! Certainly looks more like you than the older than the hills one of ours. I agree with Dan... we'll see if it is "nap" comfortable. Looks like Jason "fits" on it which was always the reason he liked our old couch.
Glad you got something you like... enjoy...
Love it, and love YOU!
Carrie, I am kind of blown away by your couch story! I love that A.) You even thought to pray for a new couch, rather than scrounge and pinch and save and get one with your own devices. B.) You thought through the eternal value of a new couch C.) God provided a new couch through MRS. GLAM, of all people. That is just FUNNY, in a God sort of way! I love it! PLUS, I just had a similar couch experience. I've hated mine for years too, but could not see how we would ever afford a new one. Then, we got a settlement from my car accident and Kevan said "Go pick a couch babe!". We searched and searched on craigslist and got a killer deal on a brand spankin new couch. I love it, and thank God for providing. But I wonder what would have happened if I'd prayed for it in the first place??
