Okay, so people who know me well know that when I do things for other people its out of the goodness of my heart. I dont expect anything in return. I wouldnt do something if I didnt want too.
Check this out,
THe other day on my lunch break I was at the gas station filling her up. I saw two older women next to a van that had the hood up and they were filling her up with water. I pull up alongside the women and offer my services as I am experienced with adding water to a car....I help out and put $10.00 on pump #12 and even pumped the old ladies gas.(Bear in mind that at first thought of paying for their gas I didnt want too. I was all like, no way am I buying these old birds gas I am just as broke as the next guy. My sister knows just how broke I am.)ButI felt something inside of me that wouldnt let it go.SO after much self struggle I did this gas thing.
I realized that to trust God was to not have a back up plan.I am good to trust God as long as I have a back up plan.But in my finances I have never trusted the Lord.
Let me tell you.
Turns out these women were with a Church from Bakersfield and the one old lay was driving the other old lady to ST Jospehs for medical care. They just neede a little gas to get there because they were meeting up with some other members of a congregation in Lodi to stay for the duration of the treatment.
Then the same day when I got home there were two cards in my mailbox. From the "in Laws" I call them. My daughters dad's parents.(please dont make me explain)
I open the card adressed to my daughter and there is a $10.00 bill inside. I think to myself aww Thanks God.Awesome.
Then I open the card for me and ther is $100.00 inside.
That was the first time I ever really did something even though physically I shouldnt have because I am on a tight budget.I did it anyway.I figured That could be Jesus on the side of the road and the Bible does say that "when we help the least of these we are helping him"
Then today on the way to school with Jaden, she is eating her breakfast in the car as we do at least 3 days out of the week. We are halfway to school when she says " Thankyou moma for making my breakfast.Its really good.Thankyou." Word for word.
Thats all I wasnt man, a little thanks every now again. Not a production with fireworks and song just a simple thank you.And today I got it.
