All about the details!
About a month or so ago, (I think, it was before Congress. I don't know if everyone else does this, or it is just me, I measure time by TSA events and talk of divisions instead of states... just pathetic) the wee woman from my dentist called;
"Mahira?" "Yes," I replied, even though she had totally butchered my name. "I have just received a check from your insurance company, and I just want to let you know that you have a reimbursement check on it's way to you."
"Awesome," I thought, I knew that it would come in handy, although I had already spent it on some new shoes in my mind. I had not another thought about it, until today. You see, I hate money, just hate it. I hate that I am so poor at dealing with it. I have just paid off my wee car, and what happens, it needs some work! Darn! Isn't that always that way of things? So as you can imagine, I was nervous about the price tag of my new catalytic converter, so today, when Stan the Mechanic called I panicked. I nearly didn't pick the phone up, but I pulled up my big girl pants and said hello. He told me that my car was ready, but didn't have a price for me, would I wait a minute for him to calculate it. "Sure" I said and hit the deck, on my knees. "Lord, you know I can't afford this to be crazy expensive; how much is it gonna be?" "$560," He said.
Stan the Mechanic came back on the phone, "Myra, you there? It will be $646.44" "That's not $560!" I thought as I made arrangements to pick up my car. I hung up with Stan the Mechanic and walked to the kitchen to get my bag and there on the bunker was a letter from the dentist; inside was a check. The check was for $86.82! I even made money out of it; a whole 28 cents. He's all about the details!
"God is not man that He should lie, not human that He should change His mind!"
Numbers 27:19
What's funny about the whole thing was that my concern was that I wouldn't be able to pay my tithe this week because of it. I nearly didn't put this part down, but I think that it is possibly the most important part of this testimony today. He gave to me, so that I could give to Him; doesn't that sound like Jesus?

My big cousin, (well his wife,) has just given birth to two wee boys, here with their big brother. Of course, they are all in Scotland - they'll just need to wait til Christmas until I sing "Wee chooky birdie to them!" (You all love it, it's golden!) Love their good Scottish names, you want to be friends with guys wi' these names. Yeah for Catherine and Alan, and their three wee laddies!
Quack, quack, quack!
