Help
Hi SG friends.
Got a big surprise today! I've been praying about a trip I really do need to take for some required job-related education. Money has been tight, and travel is extremely expensive from way up here clear to the east coast (not to mention the cost of the conference and a hotel room for the week). I've been asking God to give me some direction on whether I should try to go or not. So yesterday was the company picnic which includes all sorts of door prizes. Can you believe that I actually got the GRAND PRIZE>>>> a round-trip ticket to anywhere in the U.S. that Alaska Airlines flies...including the east coast! WOO HOO!!!! Pretty cool message there! I also got an offer to work a couple of extra shifts in September that should cover the cost of the conference and the hotel room!!! Talk about provision! Totally cool!
Surprising Praise! why am I always so surprised?

I'm just jumping in on this thread - but I love what I've read! Congratulations on the upcoming trip and for God's provision for the expenses. He knows the plans He has for you - and He just made them known quite clearly!
Thanks for sharing this wonderful work of God!
