So I've been a little lax in posting blessings, but this one (though it may seem small!) is worth mentioning. The point of this blog is to praise the Lord for each blessing, no matter the size. The Lord gives, and I have the opportunity to praise His Name!

Well, two weeks ago, one of my students agreed to replace my gas tank "door" on my car (long story short: it froze over back in the cold months and I tried to pop it off with my key when at the gas station and promptly broke it off because I was trying to pop it off on the wrong side!)

So anyway:o).

Now that the balmy, spring weather is here, my student very nicely fixed it for me. He's into cars so this was right up his alley. Well, I knew the Lord was prompting me to pay him, but I kinda cringed inside and said, "Lord, I only have 10 dollars for the whole week!" But I decided to follow the Lord and gave Luke the 10 dollars for his effort (the verse "for the labourer is worthy of his hire" came to mind) and trust the Lord to provide.

Fast forward to last Saturday (4/26/08). My mom and I went to pick up my grandfather's 87-year-old cousin for a family bridal shower and naturally the topic of when I leave for Thailand came up. I told her and didn't think anything more about it. After the shower was over and as we were dropping her off, Ruth said, "Now I know it's not much, but I want you to take this money and put it towards your trip." Would you believe that the money she handed me was a $10 bill?

Go ahead and try to convince me that God doesn't provide. I simply won't believe you because I've seen Him provide for me ever so faithfully.

Each step, hidden or not, is truly being led by the Lord!
