I have been financially stressed hardcore! So this past Sunday I decided that's what I needed to fast for. I had a car payment due in three days, and absolutely no way to pay it. I was also running out of food...which is not exactly a happy situation to be in. So Sunday I fasted, went to church, prayed for help pretty much continuously all day long, and read my scriptures.... a lot! So the next morning I wake up and there is a message on my phone from my mom telling me that my Old Farm deposit check had come that day. And guess what? It was the exact amount of my car payment and groceries for the week! Oh blessed day!
So that night I was thinking about my financial situation some more. Even if I found a job soon I still wouldn't have enough time to work, get a few paychecks, and save for my next car payment. And how in the heck was I going to pay for groceries next week??? I got completely stressed and worried all over again. So the next morning I went into the kitchen to get some breakfast, and sitting on the counter there was a letter for me from JC Penney Portrait Studio. I open it up and inside there is my last paycheck. Except it was about 200 dollars more than I was expecting to get! This paycheck can not only make my July car payment, but buy me groceries for the rest of June as well!
And as if that were not enough, I also received an e-mail the same day telling me that my request for financial aid for school had been accepted! I get to go back to school! Woo Hoo!
Moral of the story, PRAYERS ARE ANSWERED AND THE CHURCH IS TRUE!!!!! Amen. =D
