have learned not to worry about anything, as soon as I start to get to a place of doubt, I just pray for it to go away, after all the little things that have been happening it would be easy to get discouraged but I know God will provide and I trust in Him to take care of us.
I did some work installing/setting up a local area network for someone and I wanted to be a blessing to others since Amy and I have been so overwhelmingly blessed ourselves so I only charged this person the cost of materials to complete the job.
Amy so badly wanted to go to the Beth Moore event coming up and I wanted her to be able to go since she does so much for our family here and close to never does she get a break and all she wanted to do was go, well our plumbing backed up into our basement and we knew from when her brother had the same thing happen it was going to be a bit of money, and we were certainly not going to be able to manage both things and since we didnt want a pool in our basement just yet we needed the money for that.
Amy went home with Hailey early from church Sunday because she was sick and I went back to church and someone had left a PAID FOR ticket to the Beth Moore event there for Amy, not only that but this person who I did the work for gave me a check and I didnt even look at it, I was going to give it to Amy to put in the bank and come to find out later it was for alot more than just the material cost, with that and the money we kept back from the Beth Moore event we were able to have the plumbers come out and fix our drainage problem. Everything paid in full!
When our washer broke down, God allowed someone else to be a blessing to us and give us theirs, when our car broke down we were blessed by God again and someone gave us the money to do repairs on it, the seal on our fridge was not working and yet again He blessed us by having someone give us one, we were blessed with a stove when all the burners but one went out on ours and the oven wasnt cooking right and with a recliner chair, the buttons on our home phone barely work when you press them and on its last leg and once again we were blessed - someone called us up and asked if we were in need of a home phone since they had been given one as a gift and there are many, many other things as well.
We have a church that we feel at home in and several friends whom we consider close family and a Savior who has saved us and provided us forgiveness from sin, the only way it could be better is if we were in Heaven.
JESUS IS ALIVE and He Provides!

That sounds like the Sam I know, Christian friendships are such a blessing, the world doesn't know what they are missing, all we can do is keep telling them, glad you made it home safe today, what a mess.
Sam,
When something is amiss in the house, call me, there's a good chance I can break it! Frank
