Right on Time, Every Time

Wow!!!! A lot has happened this last week. It is amazing to me still how God right on time, every time, without fail. Last Friday morning, Billy called me at work about 7:30 to let me know that he had just lost his job. Needless to say, it completely unnerved me and as I cried with him on the phone, I told him that everything would be ok, not being sure if it would or not! As soon as we hung up, my supervisor called as she does every morning and asked how things were going and I told her what had just happened. She said that she would start praying and that things would be ok. She cried the rest of the way to work and I prayed that God would stay in control of things and that He would provide for us and lead guide and direct us as we faced this life obstacle. I continued to work, wondering how my poor husband was doing, still praying when Billy called me around 11:00 saying, he had gotten a new job starting on Monday! He had National Guard for the weekend and left Friday afternoon, happy for the job, of course, but worried about our finances. I continued to tell him that we would be ok. Billy hates any kind of change and always wants to make sure how his check falls and likes to be in control of everything and now he is in a tailspin because he is not in control of ANYTHING!! He gets home on Sunday night not sure how he is going to get his tools moved to the new job, how anything is going to work out for the week, just a lot of stress and anticipation. I continue to tell him that we would be ok and everything was going to work out. Tuesday afternoon our neighbor tells us to come and get her trailor to move the toolbox so that problem is solved. Wednesday the finance company calls and asks us if we would like to defer our August house payment and not have one due until the end of September. They ASKED us, we didn't call and ask them. Then today, Thursday, Billy picks up his last paycheck and comes home to say that he will get his first paycheck from the new job next Friday and it will be almost double what he was making, he is going on a company paid fishing trip in Destin in September!! His National Guard check goes in the bank on Friday so all of our bills that we were concerned about(utilities) are all paid, the money is in the bank and it was all God. In case you don't know, Billy does not go to church with me, I have always gone and taken Wesley with me since he was a baby and Billy chose not to go and that is alright, I can't change him I can only show him God at work and pray for God to change him. I don't know that Billy will be in church with me this Sunday, however, he does know that this week has been all God, right on time when we needed Him most!!! As I checked the internet to see about the guard check, I went in and work him up laughing that there would be a deposit in the morning. God is so good!!!! Every time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
