Super exciting stuff if you ask me!

Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6

God is so good! I was concerned about financially being afloat this next month with the fact that I won't be working due to my breakage. My church took a love offering and what I was praying for was the exact amount that was given!

I then realized I had spent my gas money (plus more) on medical bills and had to dip into my emergency fund for gas money. Then all of a sudden a check shows up in the mail from my job from 3 years ago saying since I wasn't working with them here is the money I had paid into for retirement, but they no longer will hold it for me. We're not talking a lot of money, but it was enough for gas and dinner! Exactly what I needed plus a little treat and thank you to my dad who's been driving me to school!

I also found a check in my wallet that was postdated to last week from a month ago (when I'm not hurting for money I'll do this for people I work for on occasion, but usually I don't forget about the check). I then also get paid for a job I wasn't expecting to get paid for, but I'm grateful for the gesture. This afternoon my car starts to act up and I'm reminded I'm overdue for an oil change. I take my car in hoping the news won't be too bad. The cost of the oil change and repairs... you guessed it... the postdated check and the unexpected money from the job.

I know these things don't seem like a lot to be excited about, but I'm very excited about them! These are just a few examples of how God has been taking care of me... and this is just the financial side of it all. Can you imagine how he's taking care of me in the rest of my life?!? Super exciting stuff if you ask me!
