Blessing!

Posted in Single Moms as Keepers at Home

Well ladies, it's been awhile since I've had something like this to share.  Wednesday I discovered that I had forgotten to write in one of those Debit Card purchases, and thus thought I had more money than I did and of course made a HUGE mess of the check book and the finances for next month. 

I sat here at my computer because it's near the phone, as I got off the phone with the bank and just said, "Lord, I don't have it, I'm not going to have it until....and by then it's going to cost this much more...."

"Lord I need you to do this, because I can't."

Then yesterday I called the property manager of the place we're hoping to move to in mid-July (yes, we're moving again) and explained the situation, because the money to fix my oops was going to have to come out of what I'd set aside to put toward the security deposit.  Yucky!

I also had to explain to this young man that because of my religious convictions, I was not going to ask the town or any other angencies to help us with the deposit.  I figured for sure that he would call back to say that we wouldn't be able to take the place.  But, he didn't.  They are willing to work with us.

That in itself is a blessing.  But there is a bigger one.  A dear sister in Christ felt led to send us a check on Thursday morning - not knowing about the financial oops I'd made.  It will clean up the oops and there will be a little left over to help with whatever....

Praise God for His provision for our need and to help us when we make a mess of things.

How has God provided for you in an unlikely way, recently?

Blessings, MaggieRaye
