So for the past month or so, finances here were worse than they have ever been . I mean really bad, Mom was crying alot just thinking about trying to get by. It was really scary. I had been praying crazy nonstop for a financial blessing, my parents are amazing people, they deserve a break. I will admit there for a while I was always wondering "God, where are you? Why is this happening to us?" I feel guilty for that now. My parents have been praying about it nonstop as well.
We got our answer this weekend. Recently my Dad had put an application in at the Shipman Elevator to drive anhydrous tanks to farms just to bring in some extra cash. They called on Friday, asking him to start working part time for them. He started Saturday. I must say my Dad is really admirable. He's working midnights right now, and so worked Friday night at his job, got home at 8, then he went to work for the Elevator all day, and came home at 7:30 last night, and then went to work at 10:30. Then he worked all day today as well. I think he got a total of 10 hours of sleep this weekend. All just to provide for us. I love him.
Then someone randomly calls my Mom to ask to babysit for her 4 days a week. That's 80 extra dollars a week. That happened on Saturday. So in the span of 2 days both of my parents got another job, an extra source of income.
This past Wednesday I did a devotion at FCA at school, talking about how God has never abandoned us, and never will. It's really been on my heart lately and I was trying to realize it with everything going on at home.
Well this morning at Church the praise band played "Mighty to Save". In the song it says "My savior, he can move the mountains, my God is mighty to save. Yes, he's mighty to save." Then I heard God say, "Megan, I'm here. I've never left your side." I began to cry, and everything just made sense. God answered our prayers. I pieced everything together, and i just felt this overwhelming state of peace. I couldn't help it but to cry.
God really is amazing, and even when it feels like we have hit the end of the road, when we feel like we can't go through another day on our own.. God is there. He's the one person I can count on, and I love Him so much. The sermon this morning was about Unshakable faith, and I feel like I have been tested in my beliefs lately. Today I realized, I have a faith right now that is so strong it will not be shaken.
I will stand strong.
