Monday's miracle

So yesterday, with all of its milestones, also was a test of faith for me. Due to the unexpected timing of this, ahem, time between jobs, I was looking at either paying tithing or possibly not being able to pay all of my utility bills. But, I paid my tithe & fast offering (although the fast offering was smaller this time than last). This morning I called the phone company, and made payment arrangements, as well as investigated moving my internet service to them as well, so I will only have one bill to pay. Also, my area can now enroll in unlimited long distance for the US. Then I went to the mail box and there was a check from the IRS that I have been fighting with them about for months!!

So, I went & deposited the check in the bank, then went directly to my bishop's house to write my check for this tithing deal, then went and paid on my huge hospital bill (remember the foot surgery? I still owe $1500.00 on that puppy) then went and paid my electricity bill ahead even (no bill until September). Then I came home and called the phone company and paid this bill and made arrangements to switch my internet service in a few days (as soon as the new modem arrives). I bought groceries, trying to be mindful of the "suggestion" to pay particular attention to the Word of Wisdom. I even remembered to take a church outfit to a woman who always wears pants to church, because she has no dresses. (I accidently bought small sized skirt and blouse when I was on one of my consignment shop visits looking for dresses & blouses that are a bit more appropriate for the more modest matrons of the bunch) I really liked the outfit, so I am glad someone I know will be able to use it!

Now I am home, and making a list of the things I was going to do today that I must do tomorrow. Tanisha, I PROMISE I will get this box in the mail! Tomorrow! Oops, gotta put a stop to this post so I can finish reading stories on tape for Richard & Josiah so I can mail the box tomorrow.

Thank goodness I am unemployed at the moment! I would never have had the time to do all of this!
