Welcome Back! Be sure to leave me a message as I would love to hear from you.

 

God is so good and faithful to answer prayer, many times when we least expect the answer to come.

As a single mom trying to keep my finances in order, I was praying about them. In a few months I will have some added expenses to pay. I know I will have to find an extra little  job as well as keep working on my online business.  In my prayers and conversation with God I thanked him for being my provider.

I refuse to become fearful of the future. My life was riddled with fear a few short years ago and I have learned how to take those thoughts captive according to Christ’s word. I just cannot let myself doubt the provisions of God being able to meet all my needs according to his riches in heaven.

He alone knows what is best for us. Oh yes I can get myself in his way plenty often.  In this case I have talked with God about the upcoming stretch of my budget and asked HIM to show me the way. What can I do that is what you want for me Lord? 

Several answers have come to me and doors have been closed as well.  Okay go on with the next thing as obviously that idea was of the flesh. Often I hear him say to me "keep doing what you are doing".  Okay, but it seems so small. 

Well today, I got my mail, sigh. There was a letter there from the utility company. I thought, " oh goodness what now and I am sure I paid my bill." Inside the envelope was a one page letter, which I reluctantly read. Before I was even through I was praising God for his goodness. I flew downstairs to my daughters room exclaiming over God’s provision.  You see, I am on budget billing for utilities and several months ago it had went up, which confused me at the time.  In our current economy with everything go up including energy, I was so blessed to find that my budget billing –starting next month is going down by one-third!   Yes, you read that correct 1/3 of what it was. 

We have tried to be diligent stewards of the heat and electricity in this big house (which needs sold so we can downsize) and God has blessed us.

God works in the most amazing ways to provide for us. I would never have dreamed that my utility bill would go down, let alone so drastically.

I can only say thank you Lord. My faith increases when he shows me his goodness and mercy for me in my need. Total unmerited favor upon us.

I pray he will bless you in an amazing and powerful way!  God is always faithful even in the small things in our life.
