When you work for a nonprofit ministry, there are times when you wonder how ends will meet.
We recently found out that our newly adopted German Shepherd, Ranger, needed to have the plate inserted onto his broken leg removed. Due to a very bad infection, the plate needed to be taken out so that it could heal. Unfortunately, this is very expensive AND requires 6 weeks in cast. Our house is ALL stairs and as we both work all day, it would be very difficult to keep him still.
I contacted the rescue where we got him from, intending to ask if they could take him back. Instead they said they would cover his surgery, foster him while he heals, and return him to us. The foster family is the same family that kept him after his first surgery and knows him well.
I picked up Ana today from Girls on the Run and she had a brand new pair of Asics Running Shoes. They happened to have an extra pair. She's been growing like crazy and most of her shoes no longer fit.
Due to Title funds, I have been able to do some amazing professional development for free. I'm excited to be growing professionally.
Of course, we have access to Shepherd's wonderful summer program that is virtually free. Our kids get to go on weekly field trips, week long camping trips, and more.
A few months ago we sent some money off to India. I was really nervous about this, but a couple of days after this we got some significant refunds from China and Mitike's counseling. (I still don't really know why we got them to be honest!)
My backpack, which I found in a closet at Shepherd 5 years ago, was beginning to fall apart. I'm blessed to be able to go to a Teacher Store, which is available for teachers of low income schools. There was a brand new Jansport backpack made to carry a computer. (I carry my work laptop home almost everyday.)
God provides in many different ways. For some, He gives them a really good job that allows them to buy what they need. For others, He supplies in unique ways. But, it is still Him behind everything good. I'm thankful today for the lessons He is teaching me in how He can provide ABUNDANTLY in every circumstance!
