Provisions

I remember when MG was born, standing and looking in her closet and thinking, "She will have clothes for her first year of life...Thank you God!!! ---but what will she wear after that? Where is it going to come from? Will all our extra money go to buy clothes that she will outgrow every three months?!!?" I remember panic beginning to set in...and worry. It was the worry that caught my attention before the panic (weird, I know). I hadn't been a worrier since about 4th grade. That was when our Bible teacher (Bruce was his name, I think) made us memorize the scripture about "Do not worry about tomorrow for tomorrow will worry about itself. Look at the birds of the air..." God gave me a good little shake and I came out of my panic/worry, remembered those verses, began trusting again and now, looking back, I see we have really lacked for nothing since then. Every once in a while, I still get a bit panickey, mostly about MG and how to clothe that fast growing, slender and tall little girl! And always God sends us a bag of wonderful clothes that some other girl has outgrown.

This past week, it was our other daughter's turn: D-D was blessed with a bag of clothes. She has been having fun putting on the clothes and twirling around in her shirts and skirts and shorts. She is also figuring out how to layer. Here is her wearing four of the new things she received:

And two videos of her twirling and Z joining her:
