God is so GOOD! Today was a great day. This week I have been blessed to make some extra money. Little did I know it would contribute to my brakes. My front brakes had been squealing for some time but earlier this week they started to grind. I knew what that meant.....MONEY! I have been only subbing for means of employment since finding a teaching job in mid November is kind of not happening and well, God does provide and boy is He providing! I do not make much but it is enough! I was excited to get to help my aunt here at the old school I used to work at and make some extra cash but like I said, I did not expect to use it all for my brakes. They finally went out on me and I knew it was time to get them fixed! I sucked up all the complaints I had in me and just took the time to thank the lord for the money He did provide for me this week while I helped out at school. All though it was a bummer to make moeny to burn it on brakes, at least I made money to pay for them! I looked into a shop here in town and I was told it would start at $170 for just front brakes if nothing else was wrong. I was not prepared for that, that was my whole paycheck...which I haven't even totally worked for yet! AHHHH! Once again I talked to God and just thanked Him for what He has given me. My mom asked me if I had talked to my uncle Neil today, he has a friend who works on brakes here in town so I called him up to see what he could tell me about good deals and bad deals. He called his friend and to my surprise, he said he would change my brakes for something like $20 bucks if I bought my own brakes and brought my car to him ASAP. I called a local auto-parts store and got the best quality brake you could find. I didn't go cheap because of all the driving I do to and from towns. Tooke my car to the shop, was welcomed by the sweetest owner, walked over to Pizza Hut across the way and was given, yes given a free coke! My car was done about an hour later and as I went to pay he said, "don't worry about it". I said, "no, let me pay you." He took my hand and said, "Your uncle always takes care of me, let me now help you." I wanted to cry. What could have been my money going out the window turned into one of the most eye opening blessings ever. You see people, when we take the time to just acknowledge that God will take care of it even when it doesn't seem too good and trust that whatever we need will be done...well it will be done because God will show you just how big He is! I will not forget this day and what I went through. I am forever blessed and can't wait to see what God will do next when I give Him my cares daily.
Brakes-$50
Dr. Pepper from Pizza Hut-$0
Labor for brakes-$0
Seeing my mouth drop to the floor because I did not pay near enough the asking price-PRICELESS
