God Cares

The past two to three weeks have been difficult. Having a sick dog that no matter what I tried to do it didn't seem to help him and finally going to the vet which costs quite a bit - especially for tests that are only 70% accurate.

The next week I got "temporarily laid off" because I can't get fired. But they can't tell me when they'll need me to work again so I  looking and applying for all sorts of jobs while stressing about money.

I let my boss' know and by some heaven sent blessings I have been able to pick up more shifts. That being said, I was still stressed about the payments I needed to make this month.

In my church there is a principle called Tithing. It's when you donate 10% of your income to the church. I have been behind on it this year from trying to stay on top of bills and unexpected expenses. But I decided to add the numbers up and pay it, even though I would be short on money the rest of the month.

Guess what? One of my expenses was somehow discounted - the businessman didn't even know why when I asked him to doublecheck the price, he was shocked but said it was true. I received two paychecks this week, the day before I needed them to pay other bills. I have been able to continue to have additional shifts and hours at both of my jobs and I feel really blessed.

I didn't plan this. I didn't think this would happen. I thought I would have to take out a loan. This quote seems fitting:

Take the leap of faith in whatever it is you need to do. I know it is scary. You are not invisible and God will provide for you. You are not alone.
