A God stop of today!!
First, thanks Beth M. for the coining of that experience and for making me think of them more!
I am excited to do one of her studies again! I hopefully will start one at church with the women in October.
On to my God stop...
I spent some time with my Kim and her two girls, Kiera and Alexis, (the Kim I mentor, not Dallie Kate's mom)...well Kiera's birthday is tomorrow and they were having a little party for her at Kim's house. After lunch, Kim wanted me to take her to Wal-Mart to pick up the cake and things for the party. I am really short on money these days, and I want Kim to learn how to pay for things, so I made sure she had some money. Her mom gave her an EBT card, which she said had about $40 on it and a $20 bill. I knew that wouldn't be enough and just decided to pay for the rest. Well, when we got to the check out, the card of course did not have ANY money on it and I had to end up paying for it all.....$122 of it. I was slightly panicing, but kept a cheerful face for Kim. After dropping Kim and the girls off, I whinned, complained and fretted because I don't have $122 to spend on Kiera's birthday. I even sinned some today...got caught up in my self-pity and rebelled a little....
WELL tonight, my roommate and her boyfriend called me saying they got some mail for me (at his house, because that is where I used to live....I know it is all crazy and weird) and she said she would bring it by our house to give it to me. I told her I would meet her there because I needed to pay her my rent for the month. I opened the mail and guess what it was... a check for $116!!!! It was a refund check from a Dr's office...the Dr. happens to go to my church and he found out that I paid a bill and he said he wasn't going to charge me for medical bills. YEAH GOD!!!
Want to know what the best part of it all is...besides that our Father IS faithful and He WILL provide, is that He does all of that despite my sin and selfish, childish behavior. Why?? Because He LOVES me and i am His beloved! Thank you sweet Father!
Hope that was a little encouraging.
