I have to share a cool story.
Things have been tight around here. We are making close to half of what we made before. Yet, I feel like for the first time we are managing what God has given us well. I guess we really can’t handle managing much….seriously.
Anyway, groceries are where I have tried to cut corners and make the budget work. I have gone insane with coupons and BOGO sales. It’s working out alright so far. We are living on the same grocery budget we had before a baby with formula and diapers and such (and we ate out a whole lot more). God is good!
So a couple weeks ago we went. I had a plan and we still over spent by $50. Now I freak out about stuff like that. Mark said to calm down… ‘it was groceries and we weren’t buying anything we didn’t need.” Well, the very next day we are eating lunch and Mark gets a call from his parents. They said there was a someone in their church that felt lead to give us $50! These people had never met us but just had heard about what we were doing!
Wow! That is so awesome! I mean seriously it is awesome that the amount was exactly $50 and nothing more or less. I think God just wanted to show me the detail and precision in the way He provides!
We are learning to trust God in a whole new way! It is actually pretty amazing!
