 Money miracle - kinda long
Okay, I admit it... I'm really bad at handling my own bank account. I don't keep a checkbook and I'm always off when I even try to balance my funds, so I just don't. I tend to be low on funds and often wonder how I'm going to be able to pay my bills for the next 2 weeks or so. Then payday comes and it starts all over again.
Well, needless to say, I went a little overboard on my 3rd paycheck in December, and bought a few things here and there and online. I calculated it in my head and figured I was good until the next paycheck came.
But alas, I found a great deal from 24 Hour Fitness and scrounged up the last bit of my money to make a down payment so as not to lose the deal.
However, when I checked my bank account, I only had $5.10 for the whole week, and I only had a quarter of a tank left in my truck. I knew that wasn't going to last me for the week. But for some reason I wasn't too stressed about it. I even wondered if I could trust in God enough to know that He would provide a way somehow. I even found out that I had some bills that were automatically being deducted from my bank account. They were small fees, but still, I knew it would put me in the red.
So, Monday, I'm off to work and very low on fuel, pretty much close to E and so I knew that's probably going to be only enough for the trip back home from work and I'd have to ask my mom for money, something that I haven't done in a very long time. But before I leave for the day, I decide to check my bank account to see how much in the red I'm at....
The weird thing is that I wasn't in the red at all... and miraculously, I actually had more than $5.10! I had $13.75 in my bank account!!! I just thanked God for helping me through this financial issue, however small it may seem. It just gave me more confidence in relying on Him for even the smallest of things.
I immediately went to the gas station after work and put $10 of gas in my truck, which I'm confident will last me until Friday. 
I put the gas in on Monday evening. The funny thing is that I had a couple of other dues owed that were automatically taken from my account around that time and so I thought that maybe now my account would be in the red, but I just checked again and saw that I still had the remaining $3.75 in there.
Now, you may say that it's because I don't do my checks and balances, and maybe so, but I truly believe that God helped me with this one, too. 99% of the time I'm not this "lucky".
God has definitely provided and allowed me certain opportunities... like having transportation and a gym membership that I can use at any 24 Hour Fitness, so that I may be able to work out with any of my cousins and/or friends that have a 24 Hour Fitness membership... which seems to be quite a few of them!
Thank You Lord!
