A Matter of Conversation

Last weekend, I had several miraculous moments regarding my finances.

It started on Friday night at a home bible study. The speaker diverted from his intended message and delivered a message of faith to continue in the midst of struggles. If you've been following this blog, you would know that's a message I needed.


Then, on Saturday, I was concerned for providing enough food for all five of us for the entire weekend. (Feeding 3 growing girls is expensive! Our food stamps aren't sufficient to last the month, so we usually end up short by the last week. I want to serve healthy foods, but they are so expensive and, as much as I'd like to, shopping completely at Whole Foods is out of the question.) Anyway, my cousin came by and delivered a stove (she just had her kitchen redone and she gave us her old one to replace our nonworking oven). Afterwards, she invited all three girls to spend the weekend with her, and she would take care of meals the whole time! God is such a provider!!!!


Later that night, I went to a pamper party at my best friend's (I didn't have money for any services, but I just wanted to spend time with her). She said she would pay for gas if I came since she lives across town. Once I got there, she had so much food that feeding Craig and myself for the rest of the weekend was no longer a problem. She also paid for me to have a reflexology massage (which is like a full-body relaxation technique massaging just the feet).

One other woman and I arrived at the massage area together; she also decided on the foot massage. As we waited for our services, the conversation varied from health to finances to caregiving, and beyond. After we were done, we all exchanged information. In the end, I had a lead on a job from one of the women and was able to share about the financial class at church starting this week! Of course the masseuse gave all kinds of health tips, including a possibility for a naturaopathic doctor for Craig that has experience with stroke survivors.

I consider these Divine Appointments, and assurances that God has heard my prayers through conversations with Him and His people.
