God's Amazing Provisions!

It is not the fact that God provides that keeps amazing me. I know God provides, He says He will, He always does, and I am completely confident in that. What keeps me in awe is His creative ways of providing. I know He does it so there is no doubt that He should receive the glory and praise. And that is what I want to give Him for continually calling us and then making a way for us. God is good!!! What has inspired this writing is a funny story about the IRS. Now over the past couple of weeks as we have prayed for our trip and a way to pay for it we have received several checks in the mail. These have been random, unexpected, refunds or reimbursements. None of which we have asked for or that we even knew we were entitled to. The funniest is the day we received two certified letters from the IRS. We were not home so had to wait to the next day to pick them up at the post office. That means we had a day to worry ( I mean pray) about them. Lee goes and picks them up to find out they are collection notices that we owe money and penalties and late fees. We found this odd for two reasons, one, we can't find where we owe them money and two, we have been praying for the money to come for our trip. So we started praying for God to provide for our trip and the IRS bill. So, Lee called them to find out what was up. The outcome was nothing short of divine. They said, sorry Mr. Brady, there has been a mistake. Apparently someone hit the wrong button you do not owe this but it is being refunded to you. A check will arrive in the within the next two weeks. We apologize for the inconvenience. The call ends and Lee is completely blown away. God is amazing, creative, funny, faithful, and 100% looking out for us!
