The Ref Blessing

A number of months ago, Sarah and I moved into a wonderful house in Malaybalay and I came furnished. Included in that was a older small refrigerator, functional, but it needed to be defrosted a couple times a week. A friend was over one day as the defrosting process began, and they said we really needed a new ref, and they would be willing to help purchase it. So we were given 20,000 pesos toward new one. At that point, they also said why don't I pitch in 10K myself and make sure to get a good one. Although I had the 10,000, that's all of our "extra" money for the month of November. Spending it all at the beginning of the month and having nothing for just in case was a little hard. But, we figured it was worth it, how else could we get a 30K ref for 10k? A few days later another friend, Rory, and I went to CDO to go shopping. At the first mall we found a couple that were what we were shopping for, and almost went ahead and bought one for 32K. We then decided we should go ahead and go to the other mall just to be diligent in looking for all our options. Upon walking to the ref section there, a sales guys said come here, 50% off on this ref. We had a look, and it was a Panasonic 14 CF priced at 35,000. Half of made it 17,500. It was sitting next to the new model that had just come in and was at the same price point, but slightly larger, so they were selling off their last few at half off, and having just marked them down in the last few hours, now there was only one left. It more than met our needs, and with the "extra" few pesos, I also purchased a microwave and pressure cooker for Sarah, both things she had said she wanted whenever we had extra money. For me, it was just a blessing from God saying, don't worry about tomorrow, follow in faith and I will provide beyond what you could have imagined. So thanks guys for blessing us and helping me step into the windows of blessing from Him.

Be encouraged,
