Yesterday I saw a recipe that a friend shared online that looked yummy. I clicked on the link and then saw that it called for 4 cups of shredded zucchini. We cannot buy zucchini here, so I thought, "Well, I guess I can't make that recipe." It's a fairly common occurrence that I don't have access to all of the ingredients in a recipe, so it wasn't that big of a deal.
But then Kars comes home from a day of flying...and he pulls a zucchini out of his backpack! What?!? One of the missionary families he'd seen in the village had sent out a zucchini for me, completely unaware of my recipe dilemma that morning! I didn't even know that anyone grew zucchini here, so this was a complete shock to me. I felt like God was smiling down on me, showing me in a very tangible way that HE sees me and HE is not limited by the things I feel limited by. What an incredible God He is!
I spent this afternoon baking yummy things with zucchini and I'm still smiling thinking of God's amazing provision. I wonder what we will get next time?!
