C.P. FROM CALIFORNIA

I knew I wasn’t supposed to work, as it was my daughter’s birthday, but I didn’t request the day off beforehand (lack of preparation), and there were no employees willing or able to cover my shift. And of course, integrity says to go to work when you’re scheduled. I left to take my children to their babysitter, and my tire pressure gauge came on. After moving from Nebraska and carrying a load for over a month, wisdom said we needed to check the tires over, but we didn’t! God’s grace is so good, though! Sure enough, a flat tire shows up on the way to work. All I could do was laugh! I knew what circumstances told me. The circumstances said, “You only have $40 in your bank account!” Circumstances said, “You need to work to pay for rent.” Circumstances said, “You need this car, it’s your only car!” But God! All I need is God. I just had to laugh! It’s not something that can be done in the natural. Only the supernatural can do this. I laughed! I called AAA, and they replaced the tire with my spare. During the wait, my gas tank alert came on, telling me that I needed to fill up. With no food in the new apartment, no furniture, no birthday cake, no gas, and a flat tire, we had $60 to our name. Once the spare tire was on, I went to the gas station, and I sensed that I should only fill up my tank with $20. So I put $20 in my tank and had $40 left. I claimed favor and thanked God for the favor and proceeded to the tire center. I asked the clerk what they could do, if anything, and they said they could fix the tire for $36! Wow! Perfect – just enough! Then they discounted it to $31! But wait, there’s more! Then God had to just show up more and show off! I went to hand them my cash and the cashier stated, “I don’t want to have to take a deposit to the bank, so I will just give you this one.” Because of God, the tire was fixed and put back on the car completely free! And as if that wasn’t enough, just 20 minutes later, someone gave us $1,000! Praise God! I could get gas, buy groceries, buy a birthday cake, and give tithes and offerings, with extra left over! God is good!
