Faith

Just the same as many, my family has fallen on hard times. Financial woes, schooling for my child, etc. I have always believed in God, as well as prayer. However, today I was shown just how powerful they both can be. We are behind on a couple of bills, as are many others these days. To put icing on the cake, my van was totaled in an accident in which the other party was at fault. We were able to purchase a sedan on the LAST day my rental vehicle was covered. This was around 6 weeks ago. Three days ago, the transmission went out...out of the blue! So now we are without a vehicle capable of fitting my family, as well as behind on the bills, as I said earlier. Yesterday was my breaking point. Stress had gotten the best of me, and I had an emotional breakdown. I prayed God would help me find a way to solve the problem. I prayed that God would show me some light in the situation at hand, because I am not very good at hiding my emotions or my worries from my children. I prayed for a miracle. At this point, nothing short of a miracle would make me feel better. I prayed for my family and friends, as I always do.

Today, I wake up, have my coffee and make my children breakfast. My daughter, Charleston (3 yrs old), tells me that she loves me, no matter what. So I am already smiling from that. Then my son, Chase (2 yrs old), tells me I am the best Mom ever! I thought to myself, wow, they really know when to say the right thing! Then my husband, John, calls. He was blessed with 75 dollars this morning! Then my brother-in-law calls, he found a FREE transmission for my car (if it will fit)! I call my Mom to tell her the good news...SHE was also blessed this morning...with 25 dollars! So I just have to call my best friend and tell her about my day. She was a bit down, for the same reasons I was yesterday...well, a good Christian soul took it upon themselves to bless her and her family with the things which they were lacking! I couldn't be happier tonight as I settle in with my husband and kids, our full bellies and our amazing family and friends. And I couldn't be more thankful. Thank you God for all you have given me today. My faith and appreciation has grown more than I can express today. The power of prayer is strong, and, as proved today, nothing short of a miracle! <3
