God's Economy is not in crisis!

So yesterday was quite a day. I'm not sure what prompted my anxiety but I woke up feeling panic. The economy is hurting and I'm fundraising and I don't have a job on January first. It all just felt a little overwhelming and my thought felt like this: "Oh my gosh, what have I done?" I started thinking I needed a back up plan and began visualizing myself getting a job as a Barrista at Starbucks:) Throughout the day I would check my e.mail and cell phone only to realize that I kept missing contact with a friend that is local. She was hunting me down but I kept missing her. I met with a staff member here at VBC and left our meeting a little more discouraged. I left the office in the rain and felt the Lord asking: "What has changed? I haven't changed....have you? I am your back up plan!" On my way to Albertsons I finally got a moment to call back my friend and these were her words: "God is blessing us and we sent a check to GRM today to double our contribution to you". I almost dropped my phone. God was just testing me again and reminding me of his provision for me. Not only that, but he knew my thought from the beginning of the day and like my friend who was hunting me down, God was persuing my heart....calling me and just trying to break through the panic. He knows the good news at the end of the story and he wants me to trust him!
