He faithfully deposited it into our bank account. Not winnings......proceeds from sale of his car to a friend. I am out from under feeling pressured to drive "the new car" I didn't want. I asked him to sell his old vehicle as we really don't NEED 3 cars and a truck.

But I am standing firm in my faith tonight. Not checking the accounts, not calling his work phone to see if he's still there. Just walking in faith for the next hour.

Your prayers are appreciated......I know God hears them. Especially at times like this.

Thanks for being here.
