Try Me!

It's a known fact that there are some sermons from church that really stick with you. Well this past Sunday was one of those. Pastor Mark preached out of Malachi 3:10, “Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house, and try Me on this,” says the Lord of hosts, “If I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you such blessing that there will not be enough room to receive it.” This really spoke to me on Sunday. I know in the past I have not always tithed accordingly, but I at the beginning of the year I challenged myself to do so. It is always amazing to see the blessings God sends your way when you do what is asked of you. I am one of those people who feel like they HAVE TO have a safety net of a certain amount set aside just in case. I have survived through some difficult financial times as a single mom in the past, it's amazing to see where I have come from in the last 10 years and to now be in this place due to God's grace. When you put all your trust in the Lord, He will always provide. Just this past week I took a leap of faith and paid off my last credit card in full....do you know how amazing that felt? The only outstanding balances I have are my home and my vehicle. God is good and has continued to bless me financially when I least expect it.

What an amazing God we serve!
