Money...isn't it about Tithes?

I know that my Father in Heaven loves me and that he knows our needs and listens to our prayers. This month has been an extremely hard month financially for us. The economy is a little more than we can bare at times. I was having a hard time trying to figure out how we were going to make it through the end of the month and still eat. There was nothing I could really think to do except go to my room and fall on my knees. I did that and I poured my heart out to Heavenly Father. Knowing that we still needed to pay tithing for the month but didn't have the money to spare I let him know that of course we would pay it at the same time pleading for help to make ends meet. I didn't go to my mailbox and find a random check. However, my vinyl business seems to get busier and busier everyday, and some of it is very random. For example...My husband sent me an email the other day, I wanted to forward it to my friends and noticed he sent it to my business email as well. That's weird, I thought. Why would he send it there? And then I realized I hadn't checked my business email for probably 2 months (because no one ever uses it. They just call us) Anyway, I checked it and a month previous, and old client wanted some work done on their car. I called her up and met up with her. Awesome right? Well while we were measuring her car and looking at colors, the guy who owns the auto body shop next door came to get some coffee (it was a coffee shop I was doing work for) Anyway, one thing lead to another and next thing I know I was bidding a job for him and got it. Right place, right time. The business just keeps growing and the timing is impeccable. I know Heavenly Father listens. I know he cares. I know that he will keep his promises if we keep ours and I love Him so much.

Kirstin, Amen to what Miche said. You know, it is because of your faith that your children will have these experiences to root their own testimonies on. You truly are an amazing daughter of our Heavenly Father...and your kids are going to live happier lives because of that simple truth. Thanks for sharing.
