In the midst of Adversity, light will show

So, money is just wonderful isn't it? haha, well, not so much in my neck of the woods. I've been blessed with a job and that provides for the necessities and I am very grateful. However, this month has been extra tight with money, and last week I had $10 to my name. I was really stressing out, thinking how many groceries I could get for that amount, on top of paying utilities and paying my friend for gas when we drove home. I also had wanted to get gifts for friends, visiting teachees, etc. because that really helps bring the holiday spirit into my life. So I had some books from last winter semester to sell back, and I had not idea how much money I would get. As I waited in line, I began thinking that perhaps I would not get any money at all for this books. I prayed and prayed while standing in line, that if I could just get $50 for these books, I could make that work. I got to the cashier, and she started scanning the books, she took all of them and told me the total. "That will be $176.50 for the books. Does that sound good?" I almost cried right then and there. I of course said yes, and she handed me the cash. In my mind I was praising the Lord over and over again for this miraculous experience. This is no small tender mercy. This was a giant miracle. When I got home, I knelt by my bed and poured out the gratitude I felt in my heart. Life can be hard, Life can be crazy, but the Lord is always there and I will never forget this experience.
