God's provision (continued)

ok, so here's what previously had been a scary situation for me: high medical bills, rent that appeared to be almost as high as my income and money that i owe people.
but just before i started to write this i was in the shower and thinking about the situation and i realized how much God had providing for me without me even noticing until now: my boss at Starbucks is making sure that i get to work 40 per week and with those numbers in mind i figured out that i'd be making more than 3x the amount i have to pay in rent!
the bills aren't gone yet and i still owe people money and will have to pay rent.. but now i can't imagine why i was afraid in this situation before.
i was also reminded of a statement i read on the door inside someones bathroom while i was in Switzerland: God provides for us by giving us work (as in a job that pays). God is just so providing for me this way right now!

God's provision

yesterday i got my tips after working a pretty full week at Starbucks (33 hours). i was surprised that i got so much and at first thought somebody must have miscounted. got home there were letters and check cards from US Bank in the mail for my new bank account. i've been carrying checks from Indianapolis with to open the account and wasn't able to use them until now and my Bank One account in Indy is empty. Wow!
i was reminded of something Rob told me earlier that day: sometimes God just doesn't give you enough so that you can depend more on him and then in the end it always works out anyway. you see the big bills and the empty bank account and don't know what to do and ask him for help. then he'll surprise you..somehow..!
