Right now I am praying to GOD and asking him for this house my husband and I have found and I just BELIEVE it to be the ONE that we are to live in. I know and trust in GOD if this is to be. He has given me everything I have ever wanted and I know he will continue to do so. I am blessed by GOD all the time too.

Satan's had other ideas for me though and it's been a huge battle. And of all things, my biggest stress has been figuring out what to get the kids for Christmas. Our budget has major limitations and it was going to be tough to pull off anykind of big surprise. We've had a blast buying for needy families this year and we are really enjoying the blessings of giving. Still I was really praying for some special gift idea for my own kids (I hope that doesn't sound selfish!) ANYWAY, I heard on one of my B. Moore tapes this week how God is just waiting to amaze those who will notice. I prayed this morning for God to amaze because I would be sure to notice. In less than an hour I was out shopping and came across a deal that would make the BSL proud! I bought a $400 full size POOL TABLE on clearance for $80!!!!! This has been on everyone's wishlist for many years and NEVER thought it would be possible to bless ourselves and our unfinished basement with such bling! This will be the biggest Christmas surprise our kids have ever had! God amazed abundantly putting me at the right place at the right time. And I NOTICED!!!! Thank you Lord!

God provided a job for The Mighty Hunter within 5 weeks, making almost the same salary but with benefits we couldn't provide as business owners and the security that comes from working for a LARGE company. (If there is such a thing in this economy.) We've been able to provide some of our closest friends that are still without jobs with a little cash to help them with their Christmases. We've been blessed with learning the DEPTHS of friendships and love that results from working with GOOD PEOPLE. Thank you for this post. And thanks to Bee at WillBlogForShoes for the referral.

Of course, great bargains and good friends who cut us a deal or two on some handmade lovelies really helped us out too! BSL, thanks so much for sharing the story and for all you do all year long to help us save money (and have a little fun)! You are such a blessing.

I find myself thanking him many many many times a day. I too have a story of how I didn't follow God's command and it haunts me. A woman was in the grocery behind me, obviously in a hurry. She placed her orange juice on the counter and said 'this was in the bottom of my cart and I forgot to pay for it. I'm late to pick up my children and I've got to go'. With that she left the store. I should have ponied up the $4 for the juice. I didn't. I wish I had. I will next time. God has held me close this entire season. I find myself thanking him many many many times a day.

I was a very new Christian, I don't think I really even knew what I was getting my self into, I was that NEW. It was a rainy night, I was alone at the gracery store and as I walked out of the grocery store there was an older woman (probably old enough to be my grandmother) standing out side the door looking out into the rain. I know that God told me to help the woman to her car with her groceries. I wish I could say that I followed his command. I am upset (still to this day) that I didn't do as God had asked me to do. I took that moment as a learning step in my walk with God. And I know that he has forgiven me for not obeying but it is hard for me to forgive myself. Thanks for your faith, and stepping out of the box. Love, Jen Feagans I still remember a teat that God put me through over 6 years ago.

Thank you for sharing it! I just wanted to share how good God is. He continues to amaze me. We have seen one bad thing after another in our family lately. My Husband lost his job, both cars died, both our computers died, and other hardships have been heaped upon us. It is through these hard times that we are drawn closer to the Lord and He is able to show us first hand His provision. One afternoon I was getting ready to get groceries for our family. Before I left I checked the mail, someone had anonymously sent us a gift card to the grocery store. Then a few days later we got a check in the mail for a pretty big amount of money from someone who just felt led to bless us. Not more then a week after we received the money our car died. We were able to use that money to pay for the car repairs. Oh and just this week, my husband got a job offer. He starts next week! God is so good! There are more stories I could share like this. We are so blessed! There is nothing too big for our God! I can honestly say I am thankful for these hard times. Thanks for allowing me to share my testimony! God bless! What a beautiful story! Thank you for sharing it!
