Aussie Soup for this American Soul

God has been so good to me, daily showing me how He is taking care of everything that concerns me.  One example is, when I first got here, I was asking God for a night stand to place some of my things in and a small desk to put my laptop on.  But, I didn't want to pay for anything expensive.  Sure enough, at 6am one morning, during a random trip outside to the rubbish bin (aka: trash can), there sat right next to the bins a small night stand and a small desk, that even matched the wood furniture that was already in my room!  God so cares about the littlest things!  So, one by one, I ran each upstairs, trying not to wake anyone up with my big smile and my wide load coming through the narrow halls. 

Another miracle was when I dropped my 10 month old MacBook on the tile floor.  That wasn't the miracle.  Ya, it wasn't one of the most brilliant things I've ever done before.  Well, I took it to the Mac store since I had insurance that covered everything but dropping it, and so I asked them to fix it pretending that they wouldn't be able to see the huge dent on the corner of the laptop and the slightly, split-in-two, cracked screen.  Nope.  Didn't work.  Two days later, the tech guy calls me and surprises me with the words, "since you dropped it, it's not covered by the insurance."  I tried to ask him, "who told you that I dropped it?", but it failed to make it out of my mouth after the $920 words came out of his. 

So, I did the only thing I knew to do, I gave it to God and reminded Him that He was greater than any problem I could ever have.  Four days later, I got 2 random checks in the mail of places that do not owe me anything!  A credit for $600 and another one for $320.  God is so good to me!

Stay tuned for more good things...
