So one more short story...
I went out in service today, which was a struggle due to the lack of sleeping issue. (Although I tried the warm milk thing the night before, and it did a really good job relaxing me....thanks Kam!)
I was stressing because we've been trying to be really good about not spending money (with the exception of my minor shopping spree for household items the other day), and I didn't necessarily want to drive, since gas money was an issue, as was money for break.
I wound in a group with my sis-in law Leah, and two older pioneer sisters. And I wound up driving, since my car is the biggest. The other sisters were breaking off from us at 10:30 to go on a study, and when I dropped them off, the one sister takes my hand and puts some money in it. I tried to be polite and decline, but I've learned the hard way, that you shouldn't refuse money from older people....they get angry, hahaha. Anyways, after one protest, I thanked her and took it.
POINT BEING....
I love Jehovah's organization. I'm not used to people offering me money in service for driving, and even though I was later told this sister makes sure to do that all the time for those who drive, it was something that really made my morning, knowing how Jehovah provides for us when we need it. I felt so good about going out in service, and having to drive didn't even bother me after that.
I just love how He takes care of us, knowing when we need it most.
