God hears...

This week God really overwhelmed me with his goodness and faithfulness as provided for me in some unique ways.

I've been making several purchases lately getting ready for my move (New brakes, alignment, oil change, GPS, etc.) and I was starting to stress about money since I quit my job earlier this month. Money going out without promise of future checks makes me nervous! I quietly prayed that God would somehow give me a way to put back some extra money for my trip and start-up in California.

SO...As I was cleaning out closets and some things in my parents storage building, I was blessed to come across so many notes and cards given to my by friends and family throughout my college years. They made me smile! Some of you reading this wrote me such kind notes of encouragement. In addition, I found almost $400 in cash. WOAH. It was in an envelope with my name on it. After I backtracked, I think I figured out who/where the money came from. Some how it got mixed in with cards given to me before I went overseas. AMAZING. Thank you God for hearing my prayer and letting me find my own money!

In addition, I got my last direct deposit today from my job which was more than I expected. (I guess I had some paid time off that had built up!) Also, I went to a church to train a group going overseas to my place of service. They were also very generous and gave me a check.

Not only has God been providing for me in regard to money, He has heard other "cries" of my heart. Yesterday He caused me to run into an old friend at the grocery store that I had really been wanting to see. God's faithfulness in that situation meant so much. It brought tears to my eyes when I thought of God's goodness and love toward me. He is in the big and small things and everything in between.
