Part 2, to the part1 of mistakes

OK, this blog doesnt really have anything to do with mistakes, but it has to do with VBS. Now on the first day of VBS we were all instructed to wear bracelets that say Watch for God. Each day ourselves and the kids were to keep an eye for God sightings. As you all know, I LOVE GOD sightings. I love watching the threads God sews in our lives, I love the things God creates and blesses each of us with. I LVOE IT! This week I have been taking extra close attention to God sightings. On the first day of VBS, I signed up to get subs for dinner. Well, I mis calculated a little and the subs ended up costing a little more than I had planned, so after ordering them, I prayed and prayed and prayed that the good cust service manager would get me a discount. Well, I went to pick up the subs and he didnt give me a discount. I was erked, I kindog gave the cashier a little attitude (Im not perfect, I get mad and give attitude sometimes, its def a flaw of mine I have to work on), and then I went to get those subs. I ordered 5 2-ft long subs with all the condoments on the side. The CSM, said "Im sorry, but I only had 2 2ft sub breads left, so I had to give 6-in subs in place of them." Than he said "and by the way, I can't count so you have a few extra six in subs also AT NO CHARGE!" Wow ,was that God humbling me. You see I have the personality that I dont hear God or see him when He speaks to me subtly. He literally has to slap me in the face and shout as loud as He can "HEATHER I AM HERE, YOU ARE GOING TO BE FINE, JUST LET ME BE GOD AND YOU BE YOU, AND I WILL TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING!!!!" And even then I still have trouble getting it. My point of this story is that I prayed that God will let this good man give me a discount so I could save a few bucks on these subs that I so graciouslly volunteered to get for the workers of VBS ( 40 workers by the way.) Now anyone who knows about catering knows that 5 2-foot long subs are gonna just barely feed 40 adults, and God especially knew that. So instead of the discount, which as you know, I got mad about because I didnt get one, He gave us EXTRA food, to feed all the workers because what I ordered wasn't enough. Kindof like how Jesus was able to feed the thousand people (or whatever the total) with one loaf of bread. This is probably exactly how it went down for Him too. God will feed EVERYONE! So I prayed a selfish prayer (which is absolutely fine, because no prayers are wrong), and instead of God answering that prayer He made sure everyone's needs were met, and humbled me at the same time.
Later that night, my friend Allison (you'll notice she typically has a lot to do with my God stories hehehe) and I went to CVS next door to get a drink. I was telling her about this story, and Im super excited of course. So we go up to the cashier to pay and my total was 2.25. So I hand the guy $2.00 and I say "I need a quarter" As Im saying this I pull out 2 dimes and a nickel. I pay for my drink and walk away, and I say to Allison, "God in our lives is like spare change. We are constantly looking for a quarter and mean while we have .25 right in front of us." You see we ask for so many things of God everyday, all day, and when we pray, we usually pray for a quarter. Think of all the different ways we can make .25, the same value just a different set-up. This is my God sighting. This is how I am going to watch for God. I may ask for a quarter, but Im not gonna rule out the possibilty that God has put .25 cents right in front of my face.
