100 Grand!
I am learning... you can't outgive God! This is a lesson I have heard my entire life and have made decisions based on this promise. I am still amazed though, how cool it is when God comes through. We just received our statement from the church about how much money we gave last year. As I opened the statement and read through it all, I found myself thinking the following thought: "Wow, we gave away $____... think about how much we could have done with all that money." Then I quickly corrected my attitude and thought: "Praise God, think of all we did WITHOUT that money last year!" Jason and I made a list of all the changes that happened in life that God blessed us with.
-A wedding in January... over $1,000 that we thought we would have to pay for was taken care of at the last minute
-God brought Sarah to cover my lease when I was living with 5 other girls the day before we had to start paying double rent.
-We were able to buy a duplex and paid $9,000 less than what they were originally asking.
-God provided a renter for that duplex the month before our first payment was due.
-We had no major car problems in the last year.
-God worked the timing out for our rental agreement for our apartment and when the closing of our house was... no double payments were made.
-We had a beautiful daughter.
Once again God has proved to me of his faithfulness in $ when we put him first.
