it's not about the money

For the past three days I've Asked God each morning, "Lord, who can I bless today? Who can I sacrifice for?" 

The first morning after asking God that I was reminded of how I wanted to drop off flowers at my friends' office, letting her know I am thankful for her friendship.

The second day God put a friend on my heart who is moving to Peru with her husband and four kids to work for Krochet Kids a nonprofit that teaches impoverished women how to make hats to sell in the US. In order for my friend and her family to go they need to raise money to support themselves while down there. God put a certain amount of money on my heart for Jason and I to give to them. Now the amount is nothing big compared to what my friend is going to need to be able to move to Peru, but what is exciting is that God will put my friends' family on other peoples hearts and people will donate what they can and it will be neat to see God's faithfulness as her family prepares to move.

So now this morning I was laying in bed half asleep and asked God, "Who should I bless today?" And right away I heard in my head, "Kristin."

So I asked how.

And I heard, "Give her $100."

Now Kristin, who is my sister, just won $50,000 on a TV game show along with my other sister (granted they are still waiting to receive their winnings, but still $100 is chump change compared to that).

So I went back and forth with God for a couple of minutes and then fell back asleep.

When I woke up again and went to go pray I still felt it impressed upon my heart to give my sister this $100. But I was like, "Lord, she just won $50,000, she does not need my $100. I don't want to seem like a crazy lady just passing out money to everybody. So if you really want me to give her $100, when I call her this morning would you confirm it by what she tells me over the phone?" I got the impression from Him that it wasn't the money that mattered and that I should just give it to her. I still wanted confirmation that I was supposed to give her the money. So I called my sister hoping she'd answer the phone in tears desperate for $100.

When I got a hold of her we chatted for a second about how much we miss each other and then out of no where she said, "I had a dream about you last night and you gave me a big gift."

WHAT!! Immediately I started laughing out loud, cause without even having to ask Kristin if she needed the $100, I felt like God was confirming that I was supposed to give her this gift.

Now Kristin and I realize we can't claim to know God's thought process in all this, but we had a great talk wondering why He did this. Maybe He longs to continue to speak to my sister in her dreams, maybe He wants her to do something specific with the $100, or maybe He wanted to show my sister He thinks about her and longs to bless her...
