This morning, after finishing my devotions, I was laying there reflecting on something God had done for me this week and if I should share it here. About that time (6:45) Sage woke up. I changed her diaper and brought her to bed with me for some snuggle time. As we laid in bed, this is what I saw out the window....
I called Regan out of bed to see it. This is the second one we have seen this summer. I found that odd, since I have not seen one for 3 1/2 years and don't know when the last time before that was.
I immediately thought about how God keeps His promises...that is what the rainbow symbolizes. I continued to remember how he was faithful to me this week.
I have been working on redoing a line of credit we have at the bank, to reduce the interest rate and payment. To make a long story short, it looked like we were going to be charged $250 for something that I was told I could cancel.
Normally in these situations, I tend to get very upset, and in turn, get very ugly. Not something I am proud of and always regret after the fact. This week, while waiting for phone calls to be returned, I spent some time doing my devotions and praying about the situation. I felt like God was telling me that presenting myself in a Christ-like fashion was far more important than the money.
God gave me the patience to deal with the situation and also provided us a legal out when mistakes were discovered on the paperwork we had signed. In the end, we were not charged the $250 and were still locked in at a lower interest rate.
I know that God heard and answered my prayers this week. I know that without Him, I would have handled the situation very differently and probably had a different end result. I am so thankful to worship a God that is in every detail of my life and cares enough to listen and answer every concern. I am so thankful He is patient with me and continues to grow me to be more like Christ. I am so glad that He shows me how He works for the good of those who love Him.
