Answered prayer

So things were getting REALLY bad! And when I say that, I really mean it! Trevor had no week for a month and a half, we were facing for closure on our house, we had minus dollars in the bank, one thing of frozen meat left in the freezer, no gas left in the car and I had about $25 cash in my wallet to get us thru a week and a half. I don't know if I have ever prayed so hard or so sincerely in my life.
The song by Amy Grant, Better than a Hallelujah came to mind.
Friday Trevor gets a job!!!! Sunday, Mother's day. Trevor comes in with Jaden and a little gift. A photo frame with a pic of Jaden and I in Mexico and the words BEST MOM EVER written on it. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered that it's not about all the stuff, God is taking care of us. We have each other and we love our family. We are going to rent out our place and hopefully be able to put some money away. My parents are graciously letting us stay with them, free of charge, so we can get back our feet again. My parents are applying for a loan to cover the cost of our deck repairs so we won't have to for close. And if that falls thru Trevor's parents have offered (although I'd rather not go that route). Trevor has agreed to do some reno work for my parents as a way to pay them back.
Sorry got side tracked so Sunday, I get this little gift, then Trevor makes breakfast. We have a wonderful morning just playing with Jaden till it's time for church where we ALL go. The sermon was ok but the real surprise came when I looked in our church mail box. Inside is a cheque for $320! That will get us by till pay day! It's amazing how God provides for his children.
I will admit I was feeling a little forgotten. Or perhaps being punished for what Trevor is doing, I don't know really know, but this last weekend has been a wonderful reminder that I am a child of God. I went out with some friends from church on Friday night and one of them said to me " I feel like you are a warrior who has lost her purpose" that is exactly how I was feeling. I got teary eyed when she said it. I need to get back in the battle.
Monday was Trevor's first day on the job. It didn't go so well. He was just feeling miserable about it and really not wanting to go back today. I prayed this morning that he would have a better day and find a reason to stay and stick it out. At lunch time today, I get a text from him saying he has be best boss ever!!!! I don't know why yet but I am excited to find out what amazing things God has done today!!
WOW God is good. Thank you all for your prayers. I know we are no where near out of the house situation and getting back on our feet financially but the road ahead seems to be much clearer now then last week
So my prayer for today
I pray that the loan goes thru for my parents! I pray that we find good renters who will take care of our house in case we have to move back in. And I pray that Trevor will see Jesus everyday at his job.
