We are headed to an indoor water park this weekend to get together with some good friend of ours that we haven't seen in a while. And of course this means that everyone needs a bathing suit. While the boys would be fine wearing their speedos (why they love them so much, I'll never know!), I was in desperate need of a new suit.
I wasn't looking for too much: something modest, something that fit, something that made me look thin, something that wasn't too expensive, something that was athletic enough to handle playing with the boys but pretty enough to be stylish, something that Mike would like. That's not too much to ask- is it?
Mike got home early from work this evening so I was able to go and look. I wanted to start at TJMaxx, because I have had success there before. When I got to the store I looked for a couple of minutes before asking someone if they had any swimsuits yet. The sales girl told me she didn't think they had put anything out yet, but to check over in active wear. I headed over that way thinking I was going to have to probably hit the mall, ugh! But luckily they had about 20 or so suits. I decided what the heck, I'll try a couple on. I grabbed 3 suits and headed to the fitting room.
Believe it or not, the very first suit I tried on was PERFECT. It met every single one of my criteria! I was shocked...but I really shouldn't have been.
On the way to the store I had prayed. I always pray before I go looking for any kind of clothing. It was a lesson my mother taught all her daughters, and even though you might think it is a small thing or that God doesn't really care about it- you'd be wrong. Because he has ALWAYS answered my prayers to find the clothing I need.
God is so good. He took a situation that could have been long and excruciating and turned it into something quick and painless... and dare I say, even pleasant.
