Well, we have now had things happen in threes.  First, I had to have surgery.  Then, I didn't get a payment to the hospital in on time.  They have made us a payment plan that is not a very reasonable amount for our budget.  Then I had it all planned out to pay our property taxes by April 13th.  Well, guess what, our car decided yesterday to quit starting.  We had to have it towed to the tune of $70.00.  Of course, that came out of our savings, which I was trying to save for the property taxes.  I had to transfer over one hundred dollars to cover towing expenses and mechanics fees.  I am sure that that money won't be enough.

I was talking to a friend of ours about how the devil tries to keep my husband and I from having a relationship with God.  She said that sometimes people read it that way, when actually God is trying to get us to trust more in Him for our needs. 

Yesterday, when our car died, I immediately started to pray the rosary, hoping that the car would by some miracle start.  Then I called our daughter to see if she was close by to come and get me because I was getting very tired and very sore from having surgery only three weeks earlier.  I was telling her about my theory about the devil.  She said that maybe this was God's way of having her and I be together for a little while.  She also said that sometimes it is good to ask people for help.  She said that humility is a good lesson.

What I don't understand is why God would want to keep us from paying our property taxes?

Oh, well, time will tell.  I still put my trust in God!
