Prayer Really Works!!

So much for continuing my last blog. When Drew got home on Monday, he was covered in dirt and had not taken a shower for the five days out in the field. He literally stunk up the entire house! Of course, he thought it was funny. Finally he took a shower and I started a HUGE load of camouflage colored laundry I could have sworn would break the washer. When he was fresh, clean, and had sprayed on his Chocolate-scented Axe (my fav!), I agreed to be seen with him in public and we headed to Atlanta Bread Company, which has become our absolute favorite food place in town. We go every once in awhile to celebrate a homecoming from the field, and considering the money I saved throughout the week, I thought we could splurge for once. 

After we ate, we went to see Tyler Perry's "Madea Goes to Jail." One of my favorite movies is "Diary of a Mad Black Woman," and ever since I saw it I have grown to love all of Tyler Perry's movies. This new one is no different. Drew and I loved it. 

Later Monday night, we ate pizza at the house and watched The Bachelor... my guilty pleasure of television. Melissa is going to win next week, for sure. She has been my favorite all along. 

Overall, Monday was perfect. Absolutely perfect.

Yesterday, the most amazing thing happened, and God showed Himself to me yet again. I was cleaning out the hutch in our kitchen, and found a bag with all our wedding cards from my family. I was in the mood to reminisce, and started reading all of them and missing home. Then, as I opened one of the cards from my cousin and his family, $40 fell out of it. Apparently when we had received the card, we put it and the money back in the envelope for safe keeping, and forgot about it. I said prayer of praise to God, and continued opening the cards. As I opened the next card from my Aunt & Uncle, a check for $200 fell out!! I stood there with my mouth open for the next few moments, not believing what had just happened. Miracles happen at the most unexpected times. Tomorrow I need to call my aunt and make sure they can still afford for me to take the money out of their account, considering they wrote the check over seven months ago. Last week at our finance class, we were told that PRAYER REALLY WORKS and to turn to God and He will provide. I cannot wait to tell this story tonight in class.

Drew just got home from work, and is preparing to go out in the field for the next six days tomorrow. Signing off until tomorrow, so I can spend this quality time with him.

Much love,
