Day by Day — How I Know God is With Me

Tweet

This doesn’t belong in Religion. I’m not religious or even spiritual. I do believe in God. I’m not lucky and don’t tend to be in the right place at the right time, so it’s got to be God. Car: My car needed major repairs to the tune of $2000. I didn’t have that kind of money, so started looking for a different car that I could afford. I have poor credit and it’s not in my budget to make payments of more than $100 a month or $150 which would be tough. Here’s what happened: I received a check for $1000 from a friend’s estate. I talked with a man whose friend knows a good mechanic. I got the mechanic’s phone number, called him, and had a friend follow me to his place about 20 miles away. My friend followed me with her hazard lights on because my car wouldn’t go over 40 mph without shaking. Besides, I would need a ride back home. We got to the mechanic’s place; I showed him the estimates I had. He proceeded to tell me what I didn’t need and how he would make the repairs my car needed for $800. Is that a God shot or what? He did the repairs in January. Since then I’ve taken two trips of over 100 miles each way. The car runs great. Bills: I have a lot of credit card debt. I was making minimum monthly payments but not seeing my balance go down much between high interest and finance charges. Then I was notified that I would have to pay my own Medicare premium each month, which is almost $100 per month. With that coming out of my disability check each month how on earth could I continue paying all my creditors even minimum payments? I couldn’t. Something had to be done. The solution I chose was to join a debt management program, which I can pay a lump sum each month, and my debts will be paid off in five years instead of sixteen. God is awesome. What didn’t seem like a blessing at all turned out to work in my favor. If I didn’t have the reduction in pay because of Medicare premiums, I wouldn’t have attempted to make my debts more manageable. Those are two examples of recent events. Is there a higher power or force that works in your life? Whether you call that higher power God or something else doesn’t matter.
