I have one thing to say: I am blessed!

I was trying to figure out how to come up with some money to put down a deposit on a new apartment. I think money is pretty tight for everyone right now. I didn't want to ask my parents, because I'm a grown up and I know they have their own money issues in the recession. So I've been praying for help. Perhaps it's not as effective as good old-fashioned work, but when you don't have a paying job, prayer is as good as it gets. A few days ago, out of the blue, I got an email from someone I did some work for a few months ago. So I guess I really did do the work, but the reward was a little late. I wasn't originally supposed to be paid for the job, but there was a chance that I might. Right when I really needed it and was praying pretty fervently, I got an email saying that there was a check ready for me. Hallelujah! I'm so blessed! I'm grateful for prayer, I'm grateful that there are good people who listen to the Spirit, and I'm grateful most of all that my Heavenly Father knows me and hears my prayers.

Now I really just need to find the new place to live.
