So, 2011 has been an incredibly difficult year, yet one in which God's faithfulness has been shining through! Other than the support of our "child" at Kulphar Kid's Home in India, we have not been doing any real giving. Nevertheless, I decided to commit to the 90 day tithe challenge. After I made my first offering, my daughter was given a $1600 scholarship for grad school, completely out of the blue. What better way to bless a mother than a gift for her child? But God wasn't finished yet; no way. I work for a company that has not given raises or bonuses for more than three years, and the company is just now emerging from Chaper 11 bankruptcy. So, the chance of getting a raise in the next year or so was pretty slim. But this week my boss called me into her office and told me that they wanted me to consider taking on a different position than I have had in my five years with the company. Oh, and by-the-way it would be a promotion...with a raise. Oh, and coincidentally, the amount of the raise is just more than the amount of my 90-day commitment.
God is good!
