They may not be the big earthshattering kinds, but in my mind, they are miracles nonetheless :) And I am thankful!

I've also experienced the abundant blessings, and also the provision of just what we need at the time. Looking back, though, the provision of "just what we need" turns out to be an abundant blessing, in that it's through the really hard times that my faith seems to grow the most! @Eric – Best wishes on your new endeavor.

I recently quit my job to work full time on some personal projects. My wife and I spent a lot of time in prayer and discussion before we made the leap. We know that we are were God wants us to be so we know He will provide. The question I have been wondering lately is how. There are times when He blesses abundantly, over and above what you need. Then there are times like your story where He gives you just enough for today so you have to trust tomorrow to Him. Which is it going to be for me? Hopefully I will know in the next few months. Either way, I know without a doubt that He will provide. He has proven Himself faithful in the past. I know He will again. Great post!
