That was fast God!

So I put the car in the shop yesterday because it wouldn't start (I had it towed). I was hoping the problem would not be too severe, but I needed to fix the right rear power window anyway. The towing was free (thank God for AAA), but after a diagnostics test and the power window fix (which most was covered by the warrenty) the bill came to just shy of $250.00. Not a huge amount, but I had to rob the vacation fund to pay it. Needless to say I was feeling a little discouraged becuase we have been saving so dilligently for vacation only to see the fund dwindle due to some recent unexpected expensses. As I was driving home from picking up the car I was praying for God to provide by explaining to Him how diligent we had been trying to be good stewards of our money. I no sooner get back to my office when Janelle calls me and tells me that we just recieved a check for $250.00 in the mail. Wow! That was fast! God had already set in motion a plan to provide for our need even before we had asked for it. Simply amazing! My faith felt so small and I felt so unworthy of God's goodness and grace. Praise the Lord for answered prayer.
