Dog Sitting

Well I've been blessed with yet another opportunity and blessing.  A family in our church was planning to be out of town over March Break and asked me to dog/turtle/house sit for them while they were gone.    I am in awe of all the things God puts in my path.   Since I will not be returning to the Sates over March Break (this coming week) I was more than willing to help them out while they were gone.   I am enjoying my time here, not that I wasn't at the Baxter's, but it's something new for a bit.  I will be here for 10 days until they return from their vacation.  

Yet another blessing came with that:  
A while ago God showed me that my budget was leading me to being completely broke before SLI was over in June.  At that time I redid my budget and cut a lot of saving and spending categories (almost all of them sadly).   Anyways there was one area of savings that when I created it, I committed that I would not remove any money from that area except for what the slot was intended for.   I prayed about this and I kept feeling God say that I should keep this area of savings.   Though I agreed that I would love to keep it, I could not see how I would make it.  From what I could see, I would barely make it to the end of SLI without it, and I'd run out of money much quicker if I kept it.  I simply didn't have the money to keep it in my budget.  But God.  But God told me to keep it.  He told me that He would provide.    I didn't' see it then, and I don't see it for the next who knows how long, but He's got it.  What I can't afford about it is the amount that I've budgeted to be put in the account over the next 5 months.     Well somehow I somewhere in my budget came up an extra amount of money in January that ended up covering the amount I'd planned to put in for February.  

Now back to dog sitting.    The family that I'm helping left me some money as a Thank You.   It "just happened to be" almost exactly the amount that I had planned to put into that savings account for the month of March!    Somehow God is providing, one step at a time, just as He said.   Man, is He ever faithful!
