Another Miracle Moment(s)!!
Once again, God never ceases to amaze me with His provision and care of my life. As I called around comparing prices for tires for my car today, I was a little surprised at the actual cost of the whole process of buying and installing four new tires. My dad had warned me, but with my couponing and bargaining ways, I hoped I could find a better deal than what he had estimated. Before Christmas, some friends of mine had sent me a gift card to Sears to use "as needed" or to use to buy gifts. Such a thoughtful and timely gift (esp. since they knew nothing about my tire needs). I held on to it and decided I would use it towards tires if I could get a good deal through Sears. Well, then when I got back from Texas, my parents gave me an anonymous gift card from someone for $100 more dollars! I was amazed at the generosity of these people in my life and starting to feel very confident that the tires were going to be purchased soon. THEN, today, I went out to my mailbox and there was a card with an anonymous $500 gift! AMAZING! I just stood at the mailbox and started to cry and laugh at the same time. This may sound a bit crazy because I know it was just someone who truly loves our Lord enough to give so generously, but one of the reasons I cried immediately was because there was a short sweet note inside and the handwriting looked JUST like Rich's. It said, "God's strength and love are evident in your life- you have brought Him much glory!" It was SO encouraging to me and gave me just what I needed to continue pressing on towards the finish line. God is SO faithful, SO loving, SO caring, SO just, SO patient, SO perfect and I am SO thankful I have a relationship with Him!!

What a neat story, Elizabeth! Thank you for sharing it, and for sharing your life - it DOES bring the Lord glory, because you're lifting Him up and helping the rest of us to see how truly great He is! I have just been amazed at your life, and encouraged by the way you have responded to Rich's death, despite your deep grief. And thank you so, so much for sharing at MOPS - that was such a perfect message!
That is wonderful Elizabeth! You are such a strong and faithful servant to our Lord and he recognizes your needs completely. I am so glad that you have been taken care of and can get new tires put on your vehicle. I'm sure it's been wearing on your mind how to be able to get that taken care of.
Great story, Liz. I love to hear stories like that. You are soo loved by so many!
