My boyfriend isn't answering his phone, so i've been playing oregon trail for the past hour or so. I have no life, and i'm totally okay with it.
I'm supposed to be getting ready to leave right now BUT, like i said, my boyfriend isn't answering his phone, so i guess i'll just spend a little more quality time with my space heater and blog.
The last 24 hours have been rather unbelievable for me. I got to see God working in my family, and we really needed it.
Not a lot of people are aware of this, but my family struggles financially. When i tell people that, they laugh in my face and consider me a brat because my finance problems are a breeze compared to most. Once again, i'm not comparing my situation to that of a bum on the street. All i'm saying is my parents own two large gyms (which just so happen to cost A LOT to maintain), they pay my brother's college tuition to the top aeronautical university in the usa, and they pay bills on our house and the upkeep of our rather spacious backyard (which isn't cheap either).
People think just because my dad is a business owner, he's automatically rich. Wrong. A business must be profitable for the owner to start making bank. Neither of our gyms are profitable yet. So basically, we're putting in more money than we're getting out at this point.
To say the least, it's stressing my parents out beyond the breaking point. They're ready to sell everything and move to a much smaller house and possibly sell the business off to someone else.
Yesterday, a lot changed. One of the members at the san marcos gym came over to me and said God spoke to him about my dad. He wanted me to write down everything he'd been told word for word. After my lunch break, i got a piece of paper and a pen and told him to go for it. Honestly, i didn't expect him to say anything that really applied to my life. But what he said hit me like a brick wall.
"Steve, the Lord said do not worry about the finances that you have need of, for this specific thing you have in mind. I, the Lord, will bring it and you will know that it's by my hand. I will provide it."
I was speechless.
When i emailed it to my dad, he was speechless too.
Don't get me wrong, i know God exists. I know He's there watching over me and He loves me. It just shocked me so unbelievably much.
I can't remember the last time my family was this genuinely calm and relaxed.
I love it.
