Yesterday I was blessed with an exceptionally, unexpected surprise. While driving home from town after work my cell phone began to ring. Korey answered it and handing the phone to me said, "It's Pastor Ron." Why on earth our Pastor would be phoning me, on my cell phone, was a complete mystery to me.
"Hello?"
"Hi Karissa, it's Pastor Ron."
"Hey, how are you?"
"Good, and you?"
"Good thanks."
"I've got some news for you, but you have to promise me you won't drive off the road okay?"
"Ummm...ok." (If you think I was confused at this point, you're oh so right!)
"Someone anonymously gave money to you, through the Church, for you to go to school next year."
Complete silence
"They have given you a thousand dollars, so when you go to school next fall just let us know and we'll get the money to you."
"Oh my goodness. Wow. Really? Oh that is so amazing!"
"Haha, remember to stay on the road okay?"
"Don't worry Pastor Ron, I'm on a straight stretch."
I still can't believe it. God is so great! He's providing for me in so many ways that I don't know how my mind stays in one pieces. Praise God for His great provisions!
