My first real answer

[secretdawn]

I wanted to share this, because this is the first time I had prayed for something and got it and realized it. Ok...I moved out of my boyfriends house and we aren't together any more, so my income is less then before, yet my rent is more. So I began this thing knowing it would be a struggle. Well, I am new and I fall a lot still, though I don't want to. I ended up drinking too much saturday night because I was lonely and doing some things that I am not proud of at all. When I woke up the next day, 150 dollars was stolen out of my purse and I only had enough money to pay for the truck I had rented. There is no food for my daughter and I, no money for gas to get to work, nothing. So basically I asked God to help us...I didn't say how or anything, I just asked to be taken care of. That night I got a call from this girl my best friend knows, and COINCIDENTALLY she happens to be going out of town for two weeks and has to use her food stamps before she leaves or else they were going to expire. And she didn't want to get food that will go bad, so she offered to have me make a long list and she would drop the groceries off at my house before I get home. AND then I can't buy presents for my daughter now and I was a tad bit upset about that too, and my best friend got to work some overtime and is getting a bunch of stuff for her, and another girl she works with got a scratch off ticket for Christmas early and won some money and is going to buy some clothes for my daughter for Christmas...
I think this is wonderful, I have learned a lesson about temptation, and my faith has never been so strong. And I didn't ever ask for this much, but when God says he will take care of you...he means it really...and bonus...since no one is lending me any money, and since I smoke, that means I can't buy cigarettes until my next check in 2 weeks so it will force me to quit.
I am so happy I don't know what to do...I can't wait for church so I can become even more comfortable and knowledgable about all this .

I wanted to update to let everyone know that the Lord has not stopped blessing me this Christmas yet...I recieved a gift certificate for 110 dollars from some of my co-workers. I can't believe the abundance of...i don't know the word...LOVE that everyone has shown me...I was beginning to give up on people with all the hardship I had endured and I know now that God watches over me much closer then I could ever believed...he has given me more than I need, more than I deserve and brought me closer to people I never could be so giving and amazing...please everyone, pray that I will be able to return the Love they have given me soon.

I recieved a huge tax return check and can now get many things I need. My sister is coming to live with my mom (i have a bad dad) and she is going to try church with me. And most of all I feel happy for the first time in my life (albeit lonely w/out a b/f, )
