I don’t think that I take enough time out to just sit back and appreciate everything, especially the little things. I know that God has my back on so many things but I take so much of it for granted. Just two weeks ago in my Reflections post, I was talking about how I wanted to become more self sufficient and I didn’t want to have to ask my parents for everything.
Now, I work in the city, but I don’t have a car which means I have to take public transportation to work. Now a few days before my first day back, I realized that I didn’t have any money on my bus card. I was starting to get upset because I realized that I would most likely have to ask my dad for $20 so I could get to work. But when I say that God was looking out for me, he was. I suddenly received a check in the mail for $20…the exact amount that I needed to get to work.
Now someone might read this and say, “Cynthia, that was just your little overtime check, that was NOT God!” But I know that He was looking out for me. I don’t know. I just took it as a message that God knows exactly what I want to accomplish this year and He is on my side and will help me along the way. I guess it all depends on how you look at things. But for me, that $20 check, which most people wouldn’t have appreciated, was the sign from God that I needed.
I am so thankful for God and all that He’s done for me. I pray I see more of his miracles throughout the year.
