God can always be counted on. Did I say that before? Here I am going through the month, money is just barely going to last me until my first paycheck and then my bank card stops working. I managed to get it all scratched up in my wallet. I go to the bank to deal with it and the lady at the counter says, “Okay, that’ll be 20€.” ... “Okay,” said I, “hold that thought, I don’t have 20€ this second.” So I go home in a rather stressed way inwardly, and get to counting all my loose change and doing a little math. If I’m super careful, I could possibly make it to next friday when my paycheck comes, but who knows, it’ll be close. Then I remembered that Monday being a holiday, everything would be closed, including the bakery where I get some free food on Mondays for the week... Eating will be even a bigger challenge. I think God tried to remind me that he was God and could handle it that evening when I was so stressed, but he said it in German and it didn’t really sink in. So I decide I can just maybe kind of afford the card, which I need actually to collect money when it does come so I can pay for my visa on next Monday. Well I get to the bank all ready to buy a new card, and what should I find, but it’s a different lady who gives me a card for free, along with a case that will protect my card from future scratches! With an extra 20€ in hand, I can undoubtedly make it through the week. God has yet to leave me hanging. Maybe I’ll start trusting him soon.
