2-12-17 God is so good. I had been worrying about money and within minutes of talking to several people and asking for prayers, I got a text from one of my employers asking me for 2 days of work! I was amazed at how quickly God answered my prayers. Immediately afterwards I clearly heard "Don't doubt me again." Amen.
