Faithful

It's been a very busy couple of days. I should have been more faithful in writing here, but I got distracted. Not an excuse, but it is the truth.

Anyway, God has been so faithful the past few days in a way that blows my mind. His faithfulness is just all around me right now. Thursday morning I drove to school so in love with the Lord I could hardly stand it. Those moments in the car sometimes are just so spiritual. Sometimes I really do think me and God are carpooling. :) Anyway, I was filled with thanksgiving and love for my Savior. No special reason, just that He is an AWESOME GOD!! Reason enough right there.

Things at work haven't been spectacular. Yesterday was a reminder of that. It is an uphill battle. But I would trade it or change it. I love my job!! Such a blessing, you have no idea!!!!

On that note, my church is in the end of this capital campaign and they are doing a special offering this week to push them towards the finish line. I asked God what I should give, and He said $500. That's 1/5 of my monthly take-home pay. That's a lot of money. But I trust in Him so I was ready to give it. I knew He would make a way.

And He did.

Not 4 days before the offering day, I get a letter in my box: a salary upgrade! I completed my master's degree a few weeks after I was hired for my job, so my salary started out a the bachelor's grade. I honestly thought I'd have to wait for my next contract to get the upgrade. Oh no! Not when God's involved. Not only do I now get paid at the Master's level (a solid $5,000 more a year) but I get paid retroactively for the months I worked with a Master's at the Bachelor's pay level.

I was like "SERIOUSLY!!!??"

Talk about a God thing. Here I was really stressed about my finances and saving money and buying an apartment and trusting the Lord to provide and what does He do?

Provide.

Plain and simple. He is the most faithful. Nobody can match Him. Nobody can guess what He's going to do. When you sit back and let Him do what He does best, BIG things happen.

Faithful. You are ever Faithful. You are ever Faithful to us God! Amen!
