He is Provider

At the end of the last quarter, I needed $700 to meet my support raising goal of $3000 by March 31 (for those of you who read my email, I am sorry that my math was SO confusing!). I prayed a lot, thought through my best options, asked, and prayed some more. I had no idea how that was going to happen in a matter of 2 weeks. And then...

On March 30, I had an appointment with my car insurance guy because a while ago some nincompoop decided to key my car in the 30 mins it was parked on the street (one of those "random acts of meanness"). Mr. Insurance came to my office, took pictures of the "art work" on my car, and asked me a couple questions. He told me he would work on some estimates, and be back in a few minutes. After about 30 mins he knocks on my office door again with a packet in hand. "Paperwork", I thought. He said, "Well, I did all of the estimations, and got you a few quotes for auto body repairs. So with those totals, after your deductible, it comes to $719." I stood there in shock. "And I have a check already printed for you, right here," he said. My jaw hit the floor. No way! I had expected to get maybe $200, if anything at all! And now, the day before I needed $700, I held in my hand a check for $19 over what I needed!! I wanted to give Superman Insurance Man a giant hug, but I composed myself, thinking that may not be very professional.

He is taking care of me. In abundance! I could have never in a million years predicted something like that. It was more proof to me that he gives us just what we need... and then some.

"You feed them from the abundance of your own house, letting them drink from your rivers of delights." Psalm 36:8
