It all started when my mother was missing a 50 dollar bill.  She real upset about it because money has been real tight and that money was for paying off a bill.  To a lot of you, you might not think 50 dollars is a big deal, but when you have a family of 9 and work is slow, it is. Well I started to look for it, looking everywhere I thought it might be, but I was unsucessful.


My dad told me that the places I have checked where already checked and the only thing left to do was pray.  At first I was a little hesitent, thinking about where else I could check.  Than I thought, Nick are you just trying to do it your way. So I bent over the table and prayed.  As I was praying, I kept thinking about taking this walk beside the road and looking into the ditches and that I was to find something.


After I prayed, I couldent get the thought out my mind. At first I was like, God is this you or am I dreaming this whole thing up.  So I decided, okay God I will take a walk, it couldent hurt anyways.  While I was walking by the ditches, I kept feeling as if I heard a whisper telling me, go a little further.  Astonishing I found a twenty dollat bill, right then I about cried! 


Then thoughts ran through my mind of a time where I should have listened to God.  Because that monday a group member of my Bible study was sick.  God was telling me to go into her room and pray for her, but I diden't.  I think I was more concerned about what other group members might think or they might say.  I realized that if I would have listened to God, she likly would be healed that very night!


I know that 20 dollars dosen't replace the 50, but it did get a start on the bill, besides that very night, my mother found a 5.  What I have learned is, trust God in all things, even the little stuff.
