rent is due on the first of each month. over the weekend i was looking at my budget and realized that i didn't have the money to make rent (if that tells you anything about how i manage my finances, pray for me!) well, i felt God telling me not to freak out. so i didn't. but i had no idea how i was going to explain to my roomate that i couldn't make my half of the rent... even though somehow i had a feeling that wasn't going to happen.
let me back up just a little to say that while i was in india i was not on vacation. i was on unpaid leave from work... i.e. i wasn't bringing in my normal paycheck. so when i got back i still had bills to pay.
back to a few days ago. so far i had been doing fine since i got back, and then somehow payday and the day rent was due were just a little too far apart. i had two checks from friends who had sent me money (God is good) to help with living expenses when i got back. i hadn't cashed them yet and was kind of saving them. so i thanked God for those and endorsed them.
then, i started randomly cleaning out my planner... and i find another check! a friend of my parents had made it out before my trip and not knowing who to make it out to, left the pay to the order of line blank... cha-ching! i endorsed that one too! by this time my faith was totally strengthened that God would take care of it, even though i still needed a little more. so i went to bed and the next morning (the day i had to pay it) my mom called and said that i had gotten a check in the mail and did i want her to deposit it in my account! um...let me see YES!
wow! so i had all the money i needed within less than 24 hours. isn't God amazing?? He told me not to worry about it... and look what He did! A Father who takes care of me and watches my back even when i don't know it needs watching. He can do that for you too! He is always faithful.
