CATCH AND EAT

We often hear of prayer requests for personal struggles, stress, illness, jobs and so on and all are very important. However we sometimes forget to offer the praise reports for the blessing God has given us in life so I want to offer mine.
After 9/11 my business was not doing very well. I kept thinking it would turn around with the winter months ahead but it did not. Many in my industry suffered the same problems and for some reason we were very slow to recover. I cut my crew to bare bones and charged up credit cards and dipped into savings.
Long story short with lots of prayer from friends and family God has bless my family this last few months and we have made a huge leap forward in paying off two big credit cards and making a big dent in the last one. WE have also paid down the credit line loan and business is doing pretty well for now. Not only that but we are rebuilding savings slowly.
Sounds kinda funny but some mornings I come to work singing some happy songs and praising God when a sale is made. I certainly hope this does not come across as a brag post because that is not what it is. It is an illustration of what God can do when you ask for his help and do your best to stay in his will. I am just so thankful and felt I needed to share a little bit of my story.
I guess that I just wanted to say that if you ask humbleness and love God can fullfill your needs if it is his will. He could have choose not to bless us in this way but I am confident that His blessings would have been revealed in another way.
