Blessings of 10%

So I am not Saint nor do I claim to be. I try to go to church regularly but I still have many many flaws. Last weekend we had a Regional YSA conference (i guess you would call it that) After a day of workshops (which i missed all but one) there was a lil devotional/fireside presided by the apostle Russell M. Nelson. He spoke on many things... but then outta nowhere, slaps us with TITHING!! uugghhh one of many things i've struggled with. Even on the way home, I had a discussion on big sas Sinnamon and she basically ensured me that its crazy but eveything ends up working out!

So the next day at church, I went towards the Bishop's office to grab my tithing slip. It was the first time I ever paid a FULL tithing, plus Fast Offering (since it was first sunday). I damn nearly held on to the envelope till the end of church just in case I changed my mind! LOL! After I sealed the envelope, I made a funny remark to the girls and said... "there goes my lunch money!" haha But the funny thing is.... it worked out!

Sunday: Paid Tithing
Monday: Boss treated me to lunch
Tuesday: Sister treated to lunch
Wednesday: Work gave me an anniversary envelope with $$$ inside &
It was my dinner night for my house and my sister paid for the grocery shopping
Thursday (today): lunch was catered for Cinco de Mayo!

I joke about lunch money... but then my lunch basically got served to me for free without asking/hesitation! These were all small gestures but I'm convinced even more that the Lord sure does work in mysterious ways and has certainly blessed me this week. Now I'm a believer:)
