This story has been repeated many times in my life and in various ways, but this is my story today. It is always enlightening to see how creative God is- as if I didn't already know that truth!
Last night I was checking my bank account online to see what checks had cleared and how much money I had available this month. For a moment I got dis-heartened by the very low amount that would be left in my account after all bills were paid and all expenses taken care of. I knew I needed extra funds this month as have a grandson who is turning 16, and I am having company in my home for 5 days this month, plus several Dr. and medical appts. for both Joe and I in January (more than usual). In fact, there were several unexpected payments, and at times figuring it all out becomes over-whelming to me, as it did last night.
But instead of feeling depressed any longer or wondering how I was going to do this month, I just stopped and said " God, you know what I need. I need $--- more to be able to manage my finances this month. I know you have ALWAYS taken care of me and provided what I needed. I KNOW you are the source of all my good, including my money. I give thanks now knowing this money will come to me."
"Something" (my inner voice, which is Spirit) said look in your billfold. I pulled it out of my purse and saw the $46.00 in cash in it that I already knew was there. Then it came to me to look in other side of my new billfold (it has 2 zippers) and I looked into sort of a secret pocket and there was the exact money I had just asked God for. I did not even know it was there, and was totally shocked when I pulled it out! I began saying "thank you, thank you God" as you can well imagine. God has never failed me and I know SHE never will!!
I have these things happen all the time to me. I haven't always shared them, except with maybe a clsoe friend like Esther, as am not sure everyone would understand. But I am going to do this when it feels right from now on.
It is testimony to the wondrous blessings of Spirit! Thank you God!
I know I am richly blessed.
