The Facts of Life

Last week I recieved some crushing news. I had bounced a check. My heart started racing, because I just knew there was no way I bounced a check, there should be about $300 over the amount of the check that bounced in my account. I called my bank and we could not get anywhere. So I pulled out my calculator and double-checked my entire register. I could find nothing I started pulling out the last few months worth of checking activity my bank sends me each month. I could find nothing. So I packed all this information up and headed to the bank so I could sit down with someone to go over the numbers and make sure they added up. We got nowhere. So they made a copy of my register and would check it over the weekend and get back to me. All along I was praying, knowing God had control of the situation and it would all work out according to His plan. I got home and pulled out all of the bank sheets I had and started checking to figure this out. After about 30 minutes I found the flaw. I normally pay most of my bills online. It just so happens that when I was home for Christmas I paid a $283 bill online and did not write it down. I have been blessed to have it covered in my account until now. So I had bounced a check but it happened months ago. I did not fret I just decided to be more frugal until I could make a plan of how to cover my expenses on a tight budget. So I have also been trying to sell about 9 outfits on eBay, that did not sell in the Duck Duck Goose sale. So this past weekend I put them in a friend's garage sale, and prayed they would sell so I might cover some of my deficit. I sold 4 I am pretty sure, so that will help out a lot. Once again I needed to be reminded that God is always faithful but it is always in His time and His timing is the best timing. Praise God!
