How He Takes Care of Me

This is wild. I wrote on the 29th about how I faced finding funds to pay for both the monthly mobile home insurance premium in time to avoid its lapse and also funds for kitty litter. Those were my most immediate worries. I also wrote that I had no doubt that the Lord would provide because he always has my back.

Ok. Here’s how he worked it out for me. 

I had mentioned to several folks, about a week ago, that I had a circular Skil Saw and a cordless Craftsman drill, and was willing to sell them for $30 and $20, respectively. I had also mentioned I had two extra moving dollies I did not need, for $10 each.

Monday morning, before Noon, I got a call and a friend drove over and picked up the tools. So, just in time to avoid a lapse in insurance coverage, I drove to the ATM, tossed in the money, drove home and called in the payment.

Meanwhile, the kitty litter was getting rather iffy. Fortunately, I had a big box of baking soda in here, and I tossed that around in the litter, and freshened it up quite a bit. Still, I knew I needed to change that, Saturday, latest. Again, just in time, this afternoon, another friend drove over, and took one of the dollies and tomorrow, I can get the litter and a few more cans of cat food.

You have no idea how grateful I am for these two bail-outs. I have a lot of other worries, financially, this month. However, knowing how it always works out, I am trying more and more often to not let it freeze my thinking. Worries, of any kind, can do that to the human mind.

 
Father, I am thanking you, here and now, for always taking care of me. Forgive me for the moments of worry, the times when I give in to fears and concern. Instead, fill me with the strength and patience I need to keep on keeping on while waiting for you to work things out for me, according to your plans, not mine.
