God is the SHIT!

First I'd like to start by saying...I KNOW I KNOW...I owe a post about my time in Bama along with pictures, which is coming this weekend....PROMISE.

This week has been a world wind of a lot of downs and very few ups...but things, as always, quickly turned towards the positive. So secondly, before I continue, I'd like to say I know you probably don't expect to see the word Shit and God in the same sentence, especially when praising him but in this case there's no better way to describe it. For those of you that follow my blog regularly, I know you remember a little post I did on giving God his fair share, tithes, and my promise to do so.

Well, while I was in Bama I sat down one day to pay all of my bills and in the process I wrote my tithes check, put it in an envelope and in my bag to give once I returned to NC. As I returned and was checking my checkbook for the damage done while in Bama, I realized we were low, very low, scarily low on funds and since it was still the beginning of the month, this made me think twice about giving tithes.

But I made a public oath and knew I couldn't back down, so last Sunday I forked over the check with only minor hesitation and then looked to God and said I'll have faith. Well, can I just say that he's hitting me hard and make sure I don't mistake him for coincidence. That week, money Jarrad and I had been waiting on but no longer expecting, suddenly showed up in our mailbox....so maybe that was a coincidence, but then as the week has gone on, little side jobs that will help produce income for the month have popped up...a babysitting job here, an event there...then to top it off, the head of the Simulation Game Design department at Wake Tech calls Jarrad, he has a paid internship for him that he's trying to help Jarrad secure....20 hours a week Wednesday-Friday of this coming semester on top of continuing to work for the coffee shop on the weekends......what do you think about that. Some may say that that's work we have to do in order to earn money, but no one ever said paying tithes meant money will magically appear. For me this is a blessing as God is proving that he'll continue to provide for Jarrad and I as long as we have faith...and I'll work a million side jobs to help supplement our income as long as they're available.

God is awesome, God is the Shit....YAY GOD!! :)

PS- Now excuse me as I'm going against everything I was taught about journalism. I'm absolutely pooped so I'm going to simply publish this post without editing.

PPS- I WILL publish my post catching everyone up on Bama THIS WEEKEND!
