We are always asking the Lord to provide for our financial needs, as we get further along in grad school and the kids are multiplying (!), so I want to make sure to say "thank you!" out loud, to "testify", for his answering of that prayer the other night. . .
During our Arkansas trip, we had our van in a privately owned parking garage near the Philadelphia airport, costing $50/wk, so of course we were aware as we stayed longer that our bill was racking up. The final bill would be about $250, a thought that kept making my heart sink. But amazingly, we drove away from there without paying a penny (beyond tipping) for parking. The Lord provided. When we arrived they couldn't find our key, and after a search it turns out that they had closed our account without making sure the van was gone from the parking lot, and we had a zero balance. So the guy just let it go, as if we'd never been there. We got out of there as fast as we possibly could before he changed his mind! Thank you, Lord, for providing for our needs in such a fun way!
And while on the subject of small miracles, I made my first grocery store trip this afternoon with 2 kids and have survived to blog about it. I had Harry in his carseat in the cart and Jackson sitting up front - both were completely surrounded with bread, milk, & swiss chard. :) The groceries may sit in the car all night, but we did it!
Knowing God's good grace up here in NJ,
Ruthie
