Way Cool God Thing

I had a “way cool God thing” happen today.

I was under the impression that today we were going to meet and get retrained before returning to the factory. Instead we had the opportunity to go out and work. And work we did.

I still haven’t been able to buy steel toe shoes, so I’m still having to put on these toe protectors that have a metal bar on the bottom and a rubber band that goes around your heel. When you walk you sound like a horse clomping—quite attractive. They have a tendency to ride up and the metal makes the ball of my foot ache.

At lunch I was sitting on the edge of a pity party. I knew that I needed steel toe shoes, but we have a $700 gas bill (heating) because they’ve been sending it to the wrong address and rent is due again in two short weeks. No matter what the need I just didn’t have the heart to even ask for the money for shoes.

So, I went to the break room feeling slightly dejected. I was getting ready to sit down to eat my lunch when I noticed something in my pocket. This was the first time I had worn the jeans. I had bought them at my favorite boutique: Le Will de Good (aka Goodwill). I had bought them on New Year’s Eve and hadn’t worn them until today. I knew that I hadn’t put anything in the pocket. I carefully reached into the pocket, fearing that I was going to find someone’s nasty used tissue. What I found was much better than that!

I may have reached in gingerly, but I pulled out quickly! Money. There was a folded bill in my pocket. I squealed right out loud when I discovered a $20 bill in my hand! There was the answer to the prayer I hadn’t even figured out how to put into words. I knew that $20 wouldn’t be enough to buy steel toe shoes, but that along with the $5 check I got in the mail for doing an online survey should cover my need.

Tonight I made a trip to our local Walmart. I found a pair of shoes that look like tennis shoes, are pretty lightweight and they cost me (with tax)$24.57!

I just felt I needed to give a shout out for God tonight. He truly is the God who supplies my every need.

Yours too.
