Guest guest Posted August 22, 2003 Report Share Posted August 22, 2003 I was just so amazed that there are people out > there in this world who do things like this and want nothing in > return , I love hearing and seeing how God works. He truly is amazing. Let me also share about the same type provision. As I face this impending surgery (for the ovarian mass), my first worry was that I just bought a house and haven't even made the first payment!! I have to make $1,100 a month in mortgage payments, not to mention the other bills...and only have 2 weeks paid time off coming. Well, yesterday, a friend called me and said she is sending me $300 to help out with my expenses while I'm off work and she doesn't expect it back. My mom has already offered to help out also (although I don't want her to cuz she's retired and living off pension and social security). So, yes, God does provide for His kids. I'm not even " in need " yet and He's already provided 1/3 of what I need!!! Laurie in WI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway I'm rambling But I just had to share my joy > and amazment with my friends here.... > in Woodlake ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~` I know it is human of us to questions other peoples actions, but sometimes God put into the hearts of other to do something for someone else.Funny how things go,,,the other day Ruthie got a card from one of the ladies that go to church with me,and there was a $50 bill in it telling her that this lady had been in her shoes before and wanted to help her..Ruthie ask me " why " and I said read the card.God put it in her heart...Ruthie was able to go get some school clothes,the girls had already been blessed... Isn't life great!!! You just never know who your friends are until you go thru something like this..And the topper is GREAT you teaching a bible study....Now how cool is that???LOL You are growing so much , and I am so proud of you... God's blessing to you Pat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a great job made great money had a nice 3 bdrm house a nice truck and all was well.Then with my back problems I lost it all and had to start all over I do not have what I use to I make less per month than I use to make in 1 week...but ya know what ..I am happy and I have God in my life and Jamison and I are closer then we ever were when I was working 6 days a week. Things happen for a reason we may not see the " light " right away but if just hang on tight and enjoy the ride all will turn out fine in the end.... in woodlake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 23, 2003 Report Share Posted August 23, 2003 Hi in Woodlake! What nice blessings have come into your life. I am so happy for you! Congratulations on becoming a leader! Hugs and blessings, Ann Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 24, 2003 Report Share Posted August 24, 2003 , what a wonderful friend you've made! Such generosity! It concerns me though, that you left your door unlocked when you weren't home. I know, I know, you probably live in a very safe area. But, please be careful! Whenever you hear on the news about families being attacked, it's because they left their doors and windows unlocked because they felt safe. So glad to hear things are getting better for you financially! (Along with a little help from a special friend.) Hugs! Tracey > Well Had an interesting Day.

I have been locking my door since then. Jamison doesn't have a house key and I wasn't sure if I'd be home before he got home thats why the door was unlocked but it did bother me that someone came in when I wasn't around...Carol really isn't a " new " friend I kinda befreinded her a couple years ago she is about 60 something and has a problem with B.O alot of people at church have talked to her nicely but she's kinda a loner. I shared a room with her one year at retreat and talked her into doing the giant swing thing(that I did this year) she's a nice lady but it was still very unexpected... julie in woodlake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
