So for those of you who have been following my blog im sorry because this story is a little out of order seeing that it happened about 1 month before I left to training camp which was Oct. 15, but hey God will keep working on my bloging skills right . . . . wink.
So I was on my way home from Ames IA, just about a half hour away from Marshalltown IA, when I began to talk to GOD just like usual. When all of a sudden I realized that I had not fasted for my heavenly father for quit some time and it began to bother me. So I began to pray and ask God about what I should fast from for a while. When all of a sudden I heard him say money! Money I thought what do you mean money? “Fast from spending money on your self” he said and “if you are to spend any money it has to go to someone else in need. Ok. . . . I said I will trust you.
So as I was riding back home pumped to start this fast I quickly realized that I had not paid for my plane ticket to go to tranning camp!! “O CRAP” I said as I looked to the heavens now what?! “Are you going to trust me” GOD said? Yes I said I really want to but I need the ticket in a month and the prices will just keep going up! “Will you trust me” he said? Ok I said under my breath its yours!
So the next day I sat down to pray about my situation and confirming to my self that I was not going to spend any money on buying my ticket. I was going to trust GOD to some how give me 400 dollars for this ticket or even possibly have someone buy me one. I was not going to ask anyone to buy it for me because I felt that would defeat the point of GOD being able to show his awesomeness. So I gave it up to him once again.
So for those of you who don’t know I work 30 hours a week Nanning for 2 kids and that night I was with my 3 year old playing and waiting for her mommy to get home. Carley walked in at about 12:00 am from work and we began to talk about the day. When all of a sudden she asked me Casey when do you leave for tanning camp for the world race? Oct. 15 I said im so excited I cant wait to go! That’s cool she said do you have your ticket bought for your trip there yet she asked? No not yet I said. Well how about I buy your ticket for you she said and that can just be your payment for baby sitting Cid! My jaw dropped open as tears began to well up in my eyes. Are you serious Carley you would really do that for me!! Of course she said I have to pay you some how.
It had not even been 2 whole days since I had been praying to God about the situation and the very next day he answered it! Thank God that our heavenly father proves him self to us in everyway!! He is worthy of our heart and every part of our lives, but not because he has proved him self to us in this day and age but because thousands of years ago he proved him self on the cross to us!!
