WINKS FOR A SEASON OF NEW STARTS
“So many times I thought about quitting my HOUSE KEEPING job … consumed with myself.
One day I was scared, didn’t know how I was going to meet the bills. But, I carried on like a child saying, ‘I GIVE UP! I can't do this anymore, I QUIT, LORD!’
I got to the house I was going to clean that day, which paid $75.00, and there on the kitchen table was an ENVELOPE addressed to me.
I pulled out the card and it read in big letters DON'T QUIT! Inside was a beautiful poem about not giving up.
But also … a CHECK for $225!
I sat down and CRIED. There I was moaning and complaining … and God was showing up exactly when I needed Him!”

Isn’t that just like God? We complain and He winks … sending us evidence of His grace.
Today as you talk with God … and if you’re like Louise and me, you’ve learned the joy of praying together with someone on a regular basis … try THANKING Him in ADVANCE for the favor He HASN’T YET sent you.
Godwinks come in many forms. Sometimes as an unexpected gift, as with Tammy. But when it happens, you know God had something to do with it.
All this week…in fact, all this new month of NEW STARTS… may your Godwinks be brimming over.
