God is great and people surprise me

God is continuously showing me just how great he is.  I know that he has been working in my life lately and keeps on blessing me. 

Anytime I start to stress about money, I end up with more than enough to cover my bills.  I started to really trust him with my money a couple of months ago while I was at church.  The message was about giving God what is his first and then using the rest to pay whatever is needed.  This came at a time when I was very low on money but I understood the point and the reason why you are to tithe.  The next week, I gave God what I could.  I was so nervous to do this so I just prayed.  I had to take a leap of faith and believe that He would take care of me.  That next week,  I was given 10 times as much from my dad.  How awesome is that!  God keeps on doing little things in my life and I feel so blessed.

Tonight at work, I found out some terrible news about a coworker.  Her house burnt down a few days ago and she lost all her pets inside.  This is a lady that doesn't have much to start with and it just broke my heart.  I have always been a person who could physically feel what others are going through and it wasn't good.  I couldn't imagine going through what she is having to deal with now.  Right when she told me this, I started praying.  Right there at the fitting room desk in Target. Haha.  I just wanted her to feel comforted and cared for.  Later on, I heard of all the help she has been getting from people.  Coworkers and giving her food and her neighbors are caring for her.  Even Starbucks gave her coffee just so she could get through her day.  I love to hear about the good people in our world today.  The people who aren't selfish and see a person who is truly needing help.  While I was eating lunch with this coworker today, another coworker came in and dropped some money in front of her. At that moment I could feel what she was feeling.  She was feeling blessed.  It is such a great feeling.  Now that I am thinking about it, I wonder if this was a sign of comfort from God. So amazing!

With all of the crap going on in this world today, it is helpful to hear about the good people.  The people who realize that there are other people on this Earth.  Those that put others first.  I strive to be one of these people and fail miserable at times.  But I am working on this. 

I hope that this amazed you like it did me, and if not, that is fine too.  Please pray for my coworker.  Please join with me to pray that she continues to feel comfort from those around her and that she is able to get everything worked out.

God is good!
