A Faith Builder

The winter season at work (the restaurant)  always reminds me of the winter season outside. Winter is only here for a very short time (which seems forever in the middle of it)  and then Spring. Obviously, Spring brings blooms and new growth, just as Spring brings more money to pay bills at Kookys...

                                                           

I've always heard testimonies of people who have shared some remarkable stories, such as, " My husband and I have been praying for money so we can fly our family home to be with my parents at Christmas. Just the other day a friend of ours called and offered us their air miles that they've been saving. Can you believe it?"

How about: " We need our truck fixed, it's the only vehicle working right now and my husband really needs to get to work. We went to the mailbox yesterday and can you believe their was an envelope from an anonymous person with a money order for $900.00?"

Or..." We are low on food, my neighbor came over and brought us an unexpected dinner tonight."

All of these testimonies are believable, especially someone who has faith in God, but at the same time so far away from my mental ability to relate because it really doesn't happen to me. Seriously, it hasn't happened to me like that at all. But, I've always wanted it to and even found myself praying that it would. ( I know)

Do you know where I'm going with this?

I really am. Funds have been low at the Marcy house and I've SERIOUSLY been praying for something to come our way. Something like this: Lord, please open the flood gates to Kookys financially or if there's something I'm not thinking of please let that happen or Lord, please forgive me for trying to figure this out for you, because of course you are God and you know all things and alright Lord, I'm sorry, I surrender, you know our needs. AMEN! I sometimes feel sorry for God because He has to put up with me. 

Back to the story: that afternoon (after the prayer) I went out to the mailbox and low and behold their  REALLY was a check. It was from a lady David did work for almost a year ago who decided to finally pay him. (She was NOT included in my prayer; well maybe the last part of it) We had given up on her because of a track record she has of not paying us for work that has been done for her in the past years. (my husband really likes her  cranky self)

No lie, it really does happen. It really does happen to people like you and me.

Thank you Lord for loving your children and ALWAYS out smarting us...

Teach us to trust you!
