This morning I almost had a breakdown. I have been planning on feeding all the volunteers and bands for the benefit concert tonight. I had been talking to Dominos and they told me they would donate pizzas, but I found out on Wednesday that they would be only donating 5. Don't get me wrong, 5 is better than none and I am super grateful for the contribution but now I had to find more pizza to feed all my awesome volunteers. So I went to another dominos that is in a neighboring town and talked with them about donating a few more pies. Well yesterday it looked very promising, but today the general manager told me he "didn't feel like doing that tonight". So I stood outside my school's convocation, on the verge of tears. I didn't know what I was going to do! So I held my tears, and walked as fast as I could to my car. I drove to a local pizza place, just praying that they would have a big ol' heart and be willing to help me out. So I walk in and wait for a few minutes and a man walks out from the Kitchen...
Man: "Can I help you with something?"
Me: "I was hoping to talk to a manager."
Man: "Well I'm one of the owners, would that work?"
Me: "That actually works perfectly."
I then 'splained my situation to him and the minute the words were out of my mouth, he said, "Absolutely! We'd love to do that! How does 4 large pies sound? We'd also love to give you some certificates to raffle off!" All I could say was, "thank you thank you thank you thank you!!" Woah... In a small but powerful way God reminded me that He was in control, He was on my side, and He could provide! And boy did He provide way more than I could hope! Not only do I now have more pizza than I need, but God also provided more certificates for me to raffle! God's goodness never ceases to amaze me! I don't know about you, but His presence even in the small things is such an incredible comfort to me! I am sooo looking forward to this concert, and to see how God is going to work! : )
