...and God's faithfulness and sovereignty continues...

So, we've been a little stressed over finances around here (Carl's other two jobs haven't picked up yet) and are already in the negative for our budget this two weeks (thank goodness for savings). I sent a brief prayer to my Father in heaven this evening asking that He would please help us come up with the money (after spending hours poring over mystery shopper jobs and other online ways to bring in some extra cash, yesterday and not believing that a prayer would help us yet again) and Carl walks in--no joke--with a letter in the mail from our bank telling us that we have $75 in unclaimed funds from 2007.
2007?? Why are we just now seeing this??
In the past when we've overpaid it has always been just credited to our whatever account. Or we've been notified very quickly of overpayment.
This is too RANDOM and INSANE to believe that this is anything other than my faithful Father in heaven who knew before time began that Carl and I would be "tight" in this little window of time and he would somehow provide this money at a time when we needed it.
Jesus cared enough to turn the water into wine at the wedding to save the family from embarrassment, so why should we think He doesn't care about our little details?
He is God.
He is sovereign.
He LOVES and cares for His sheep.

Look into Pinecone research (http://www.pineconeresearch.com/). They do product surveys for new products, they may be looking for some new panelists. I get 3-4 surveys a month they compensate $3 per survey and sometimes they have follow up surveys that you also get $3 for. It's not much, but every little bit helps. They also have household surveys, which get your name entered into weekly drawings to win $500. Good Luck with everything.

Thanks Erin, I'll look into that. You're right, every little bit helps!
