I think today, I finally grasped the concept of trusting the Lord and he will provide. With the world race, I had to have $150 in as soon as possible to be confirmed for this trip. Without this money, I am jsut accepted, but not actually 'on' the race yet. I signed up to do this music research study through WAY-FM Colorado. It was planned for November 6, and so that day I go to where it was to be, and no one was there. I called. And complained. They had to reschedule and didn't call me. They said they would send a check to make up for my time. The study was rescheduled for today. I go and thankfully they were there!
I sign in and the lady sees who I am, so she hands me a $50 bill and says this is for last time. I then get my name entered into a drawing because I was at least 15 min early. As I wrote my name on that piece of paper, I prayed I would win (not to be selfish). As I looked at the jar with the papers in it, I prayed I would win. Halfway through the study, we did the drawing. As the lady was mixing the papers, I prayed I would win. Then before I know it, SHE CALLS MY NAME!!!!!!!!! I just about cried right there. Other women in the room groaned that they didn't win, but I knew me winning, was an answered prayer from God.
I am sure everyone prayed that they would win, but I told God (kinda bargained, I suppose) That if I win this extra $50, that it will tremendously help with my mission trip. I never had a doubt in my mind that I would use it for my World Race deposit.
When the study was over, I got another $50!!
So today, I made $150 cash which is the EXACT amount I need for my deposit. When I signed up for this study, I originally planned on making $50 to help with Mexico, but it is obvious the Lord had other plans.
that is sooooo awesome!
