"YES!" and Yea God!

So, I had just been telling my friend the story of God's faithfulness during my divorce process. All the crazy "coincidental" things that had happened.... how He has ALWAYS provided. How He still does.

And now, yet another example:

One of the things planned during our summer vacation is a day at a local water park. It's about a three hour drive, and we've coordinated with two other families to meet there for the kids to play. We plan to drive up for the day, play hard and drive back - partly to decrease expenses. I've also been searching for OTHER ways to cut expenses - especially pertaining to this adventure - to help lessen the $100+ hit to the budget.

Monday morning at 9 a.m., I was logged onto "Go There Do This"- a local radio-station sponsored discount ticket site. Usually there are 50% off coupons for this water park that are replenished on Mondays at 9 a.m. Not this week. Drat. I'd have only ONE MORE Monday to check in order for them to arrive in time for us to use them.

I had forgotten that I had "bought" raffle entries (for water park tickets) at the local Christian Music radio station site a few days before. I had a ton of points for entering "artist of the day", etc. into their "Listener Rewards" program. So, I traded some points for some chances at these tickets.

Monday evening, after a long day at the pool and an evening of yoga and grocery shopping, I checked my email.

I WON!!

Two tickets to the water park! YES! YEA GOD!!
