The Unexpected Gift

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Referral Magnet

Did you ever get something in the mail that you weren't expecting? 

I joined this Send Out Card business a month ago because I was fed up with my 9 - 5 and decided the small investment and tax write-offs would be worth it.  I decided that I was going to work this business during lunch, nights, and weekends so I could quit that 9-5.  Then we started having some major unexpected expenses:  house and vehicle repairs.    So major that we had to use that cushion money.  You know, the money in savings just in case you lose your job?  So, of course, I questioned my decision to start this business. 

What did I do?  I prayed.  I thanked God for everything that he has given me and my family.  Our health, family, friends, enough money for food and clothing, iiving in this great country of ours, etc.  I prayed that I will not worry about money because I know that He will provide for us.  I also told Him that I would donate my first $1000 check that I receive from my new business.  That was three days ago.

So, today, in the mail we received that unexpected.  I won't go into details but it helped put that cushion back into our savings.  It certainly made me more of a Believer than I already was.  It reaffirmed my decision to start this business and I'm looking forward to the day I receive my first $1000 check so I can give someone else an unexpected gift..
