His Mysterious Ways

So I am sitting here and I couldn't really sleep this morning, got up around 5:30.

I think I could be stressed because I haven't started work yet and well, money is tight. Isn't it always though with everyone? Except the people that are rich.

Ever since I had quit my job at the Westin though, I must tell you, I have been blessed with some kind of money in some form or another. I will not tell you that it is just based on luck, because I truly believe that God has used his mysterious ways to help me during this hard time.

I read once in my Sylvia Browne book, a quote that went something like this:


"If you are not happy and do not like your job, quit it. Don't worry about financial problems because God will help you and provide for you."


And you know what? She is right! God has been there for me and has provided money for me through many ways, whether it be through the help of my parents, a friend, an odd job around the neighborhood, or simply as a technology situation at my bank.

Let me tell you: Last Christmas I didn't work that many hours so I only really had enough money to pay for my terribly large amount of a cell bill and maybe buy two Christmas cards.

Well I remember that I called my bank and told them that I wasn't going to have the money in my account to be taken out for my credit card payment. (I did have the money it is just I wanted my parents to have a nice Christmas). My bank told me that hopefully I could have someone put the money in there for me because regardless the system is automated and it would be taken out on the date it always is, regardless.

So I left my money in there and prayed and hoped I could still give my parents a nice Christmas. Ugh, I even bought José two things too. Sheesh.

Well after that date the money was supposed to be taken out, I checked my bank account like I always do and guess what?


The payment WAS taken out BUT it was taken out FROM the credit card I am paying on itself! NOT from my checking account!

OMG.



At first I thought "Okay, no biggie they will just correct the mistake and then it will be taken from my checking account" WRONG! Never happened!

And now from that day on and I just knew it was an act from God.



Well let me tell you this one: It has happened again! (doesn't happen each month either, just when God feels I need help from above) :)

I have been worried a lot lately regarding money and if I'd have the $$$ I need to pay for my cell phone bill.

Well I get on my bank account this morning and the SAME thing has happened again.

I just cannot believe it! God really does know when you need help and if I start work this week I will just make enough to pay my bill.

I don't know exactly how religious some of you are, I don't ever go to church, which I know I should start and sometime soon I will. I was reading a devotional Bible every day but that fizzled out quickly and I'd like to start doing it again...


But this is just simply amazing and how incredible :)

You dont necessarily have to go to church to be spiritual. I think our acts towards others are what defines us as humans and the goodness you put forth is returned to you. You could sit in a church building everyday but if you didnt put the teachings into practice, it wouldnt be of any use. Im sure you must be good to many people as you are getting the goodness back in return.

Megita,

The more and more you talk about Daniel - the more and more I think we WERE dating the same man. I know that we were not bc of the pictures but how in the world are they both wired the same exact way? Carlos told me that he had been deported and came back across. It confuses me so.....

I have decided that he had some hidden agenda for being with me because if you truly love someone you don't break their heart to "test" them and see what they will do. That is stupid and very immature and just like him. I am just so very tired of giving 150% and getting nothing in return. That is not healthy. I am tired of him running all over me. I am tired of supporting him and giving him money whenever he needs it. It is sad when his mom told me she doesn't know how I put up with him. That would have embarrased me horribly if my mom had said something like that. Not him...he just laughed.

I still think I might take a vacation to Savannah to see you and Lisa. I think it would be a blast!
