Just a matter of minutes

So true, in just a matter of minutes your life can change. With the upheaval in my life and my seemly lack of ability to trust God, something happened. I asked my husband the other morning how he could show me that there was a promising future...he said that he did not know the future, but he did know the past and that every, yes indeed every time he has been laid off God had provided...therefore with that history he could trust the future. I was not and still am not able to handle this uncertainty, yet, yesterday something unusual happened. We were asked to watch a little boy for 3 nights, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday...since it's summer and our grand daughter Rylee is going to attend a VBS, we thought this little boy would like to come too, so I called the office to ask for permission and the coordinator said there was a change and could we watch the little boy for 2 weeks...wow...could not have happened at a better time for us. I asked the coordinator if we could still have another student for the week end Friday and Saturday nights, and he said that he was fairly certain that he could arrange another student that would be compatible with this little boy...so in a matter of minutes God provided money for another month...... I am stunned...happy, but none the less stunned. So what is my fear? Two very close women in my life asked me the same question...do I remember a time when my parents or siblings spoke a curse over me, something very very common, I found it interesting that both of these God loving women had the same thoughs as they were praying for me. Truthfully I had thought about it myself, so this is another area to explore for me to have a complete healing. Another area of change was that my husband cleared the questions with unemployment and that he will start to get a check next week and as he called around to the union business, a large job will be opening up very soon, as early as July and he could very very likely be on that job. This blessing would allow my husband to get the needed hours to complete for his pension and the job could last up to 2 to 3 years. Now that would be a miracle! I continue to wonder how God can help us...I am hoping that He can and will.
