Watching and Waiting: Praise the Lord!

Hello Everyone!

I can’t give you a full update at the moment (that will have to done later in the week), but I would like to share a huge praise report! I am so thankful for all of your prayers, so I want you to know when God answers in really cool ways since He’s answering your prayers as well as mine. On Wednesday morning of last week I woke up knowing I had a bill that was due that day and I only had $15 in my bank account. My friend gave me a little cash so I could catch a bus in town since I needed to go in to do my sets etc. While on the bus I just started having a little chat with God. I was asking Him why it’s so difficult just to pay my bills, and I reminded Him how bad it makes Him look when His children are doing what He tells them to do but are late in paying their bills. I wasn’t being ugly with Him, just simply telling Him what I was thinking and that I had no earthly idea how I was supposed to get this bill paid.

When I got to my apartment I took my things to my room to put them away and there, sitting on my shelf was an envelope of cash with my name on it! I asked my roommate where it had come from and she said someone had brought it by saying an anonymous donation had arrived for me. I just sat there in shock! It was far more than I needed to pay that bill. In fact, it should be enough to cover all my bills this month as well as pay back the money I owe for 6 months of insurance here. PRAISE GOD!!!! I have no idea who sent the donation, but I am so glad they listened and sent it when they did. God is so good, He had the money sitting there waiting for me before I had that chat with Him on the bus. He really does provide all of our needs, especially when we trust Him to do so. So, just wanted you to be as encouraged by this as I was, keep praying ‘cause He does answer!!!

Many blessings to each of you and thank you once again for all of the prayers you send my way.

Much Love!
