When you believe
Jewel used to tell me (a lot Ü) that GOD will provide. I have always believed in it but never really experienced a dire need, or at least never realized it. This past week it hit me. I didn’t "work" for 7 1/2 months. The last 2 1/2 weeks were crucial since I am no longer under the financial aid of my parents. I never really had a source of income and I had bills to pay. Bebe was the only one generating an income so I had to resort to our savings. Coming into employment our savings is depleting fast. I don’t get to be payed until 3 weeks after starting in my current job. So we had to be very careful on what we spend to make sure we get by. When I went to buy groceries I used my credit card since I am low in cash. I thought I had enough in my card for a few groceries. I calculated wrong (talk about being bad in math) I went overlimit!!!! So I withdrew what’s left of our savings, leaving behind the minimum required balance, and payed the overlimit amount including the payment due. The amazing thing is that instead of having a fee for going over the limit the bank increased my credit limit!!! Yesterday I was able to buy a cart-load of groceries enough to be able to bring baon to work (food in the office is very expensive) and have food at home. Which means I only need cash for transportation. I was also able to buy 6 blouses and a pair of pants for my job because we have a dress code. By Friday I will be receiving my first paycheck. I will surely set aside an amount to deposit in the bank to replenish our savings and half of the amount I spent yesterday for my card payment (the other half will come from my next pay) Whoever you are reading this, if you feel you are in a crisis just remember that everything happens for a reason and believe that GOD WILL ALWAYS PROVIDE WHAT YOU NEED!!!
