Thank you God.
It's been a rough day. God has helped me through it, though. First of all, he got me here this morning and my gas tank was below "E". Then, I found out about three insufficient funds fees. Then, of course, I didn't know how I was going to get home because I KNOW I didn't have enough gas to get back. On top of it all, I haven't eaten anything all day. Ok, I scammed a fudgsicle from the freezer - pretty old it was. In any case, forlorn, I just go out to my car and pray because I started feeling really panicky and anxious. I cried a good bit and afterwards, I still felt scared (about money, car, new job, etc....) but I left the vehicle having put my worries in God's hands. After coming back inside and sitting at my desk for about 5 minutes, one of the crew guys here at work that I know and have been acquaintances with for a while, comes in. I felt a little embarrassed but my hunger got the best of me, I asked him if he had .75cents b/c I didn't have any cash for the snack machine (shit, I didn't have any cash AT ALL!). He looked at me and said, "Sure, but it'll have to be a dollar because I dont' have change." I thanked him and just as he was handing it to me he said, "You know what, I'm going to do you better than that. I've got seven dollars, Evelyn, and it's yours." I insisted that he was being silly, I only wanted enough to get some chips but he was adamant and said he would feel better if he knew I had it. To top it all off he says, "Afterall, you're my sister in Christ and if you don't need it, then give it to someone else." Um, I'm glad I know God. He is amazing. There was no way that my coworker could have known that I'm in such dire straits. God works in mysterious ways. Now I have money for gas to get home with and I was able to eat something today. As for the insufficient funds fees, I would have been screwed had I not worked all my hours at my second job. Thankfully I worked enough to accumulate a $114 check for this Friday - $7 more than I need to cover the fees. Usually my BBW check is just $18 b/c they never work me more than like 3 or 4 hours. So yeah, this morning I didn't know what the hell I was going to do about gas, about food, about fees.... I'm just glad I put it all in God's hands - He loves me very much and takes care of me.
I guess I share this stuff with you guys sometimes because it is possible to "let go and let God" and if you have faith, he will hear your prayers and whether or not it works out the way you want it to - it will work out, maybe even for the better. Peace.
