Okay so on Sunday Mike challenged me with trusting God with my money. This past week I have been going through some financial drainage and I only had a half of a quarter of a tank of gas and only ten dollars in my pockets with nothing in the bank accounts. I needed that ten dollars to get to work and to get back home. Giving anything of what I had in my pockets would mean I would have to make an uncomfortable sacrifice something that would make me rely on God something I was wrestling with in my head. Well is it so wrong of me to keep this money? I NEED it I need it to get to work. Mike’s words running through my head with God’s Holy Spirit making my heart thump harder and harder. I just needed one more push when I asked my mom, “hey will I be able to get to work this whole week on five dollars?” My mother didn’t answer instead Sarrete yells out trust God Danielle with that I gave what my heart told me to give. Later that day I went and put that five dollars in my gas tank giving me “half a gallon” as Ray would say. Looked at my gas gage not move at all was depressing. Jokingly saying hey this is the most gas I’ve ever gotten while thinking God you have to get my through this week. I drive to work today and it was business as usual. Then I opened my e-mail and the president of my job decides to give every employee a 50 dollars gas card because he appreciates us and because of gas prices. I was like WHAT! GOD IS AWESOME! I almost cried. I wanted to tell everyone what this meant for me. He gave me so much more than I was expecting. WOOOOOO

    Haha, I almost just meant that as a joke when I said it because there was no way you could manage on just $5 of gas. But then hearing this, I realize there is no joke about it; I’m so impressed by your faith and by the huge way God came through!
