Friday night, I'm talking to my friend Jazmin Bailey. We both work grueling morning hours, a 3:00 am call time at our jobs in news, but we were set on attending an event to empower us both after shift. We made the trek about 40 minutes away to Disney for a Black Enterprise: Women of Power conference, and had a blast.
During our ride Jazmin shared with me God's dealing with her on obedience and trust, and his wanting to bless her. She kept bringing up the amount $100 and how he showed it to her several different ways. Literally, mid sentence, a friend randomly cash apps me $100. I tell her, and we got a good faith laugh out of that. Meanwhile, deep down I'd been having my own struggles with trusting God and whether he would really provide financially, as well as other ways. I said a prayer for my friend, who I was more than gracious sent the money, and moved on.
Fast forward to later in the night, and after being up about 23 hours...on the way home, I fell asleep while driving, one block from my subdivision. It was sudden, and quite frankly, terrifying.

I ended up smashing into a curb, whole car goes over the curb. I busted my tire, bent the rims, but was physically okay and able to drive the car very slowly to my driveway.
The next morning, I was concerned about the car, how much it would cost, and how I honestly didn't have the money for all that. Long story short, the repairs ended up costing $100, the same money that was sent to me the night before! As I sat at the shop, I heard a voice say, "Haven't I always provided for you? Don't stop trusting me now."
Peace. Y'all...not once has God let me down, not once. This past couple of years have been a hard journey for me, but he has been there every step of the way. I couldn't pay for the lessons I've been taught, and the wisdom I've gained. Just wanted to share my tiny testimony to encourage someone else. Stay the course.
