Just Because

inspired

so it's been forever since i've felt like i had anything to write, but i wanted to share something. i'm sure i've already told most of the folks who read this, but at least putting it here i will be able to look back at it later.

the past few weeks i have really felt convicted to take care of some financial issues i have had. as most people who know me well know, i am not known for my sound financial decisions. it's just not one of my strong points. but this year i have been trying slowly to change that. last week i had a bit of a "come apart" because it seemed like i was taking one step forward and two steps back. so i talked to my mom and with her help was able to get current with several things that i was behind on. so on friday, having only one check out that had not cleared, i had an additional $1.31 in the bank. i was ok with that knowing that i was to get paid from the skate center this week, and that nothing else was due. well, over the weekend a service charge for something came out of my account that was $6.95. now, since the check had not cleared, there was money in the account, but i knew that if the check cleared it would bounce. my first thought was to borrow a few bucks from someone, but then i just felt like i needed to take the consequences of this...so i had resigned to pay the service charge if the check came through before i got paid. well, yesterday morning i was looking at an explanation of benefits from my insurance company, and there was a $20 check attached to it!! GOD is SO GOOD!!! seriously...i could bot have been more excited if that was a $1,000 check!

i am so thankful to serve a God that is so faithful. He blesses me over and over again. this is just one example of the many blessings...my cup runneth over!

Ok, two things, first I can't read any of your blog, it's all bright white, second, I usually don't agree with Janna on much (we like to mess with each other) but I do agree that the green dot looks a bit like an ornament and needs to go!

Just what I needed to hear. I am having money issues too. I always seem to, but even worse lately. I know in my heart God will provide and has it all under control. I just can't seem to get my mind to submit to that promise. Good Luck! Maybe we will win the lottery or something...

The book of Phillipians really inspired me recently. No job will really make you put your trust in him.

I love when God shows up in our daily! Proof to me that He even cares about our small stuff. Keep being faithful!
