Please read till the end it's my tear jerking, witnessing of today's 2 miracles sermon of the day!
The Lord works miracles everyday I am still tearing after one from 20 minutes ago. I had to order both the minimum in contacts one box because I don't have glasses because they don't cover them AND purchase winter needed things like a coat and winter boots ect. I am a tall semi-large girl with size eleven feet (skiis I know right lol) Its very hard to find things at Wal-Mart that fit me let alone be stylish! I knew it was going to be the most financially tight month ever. I was under the assumption that if you purchase a gift card that I would get 5% off and I have no vehicle so often times I have to order things to come to me rather then paying for two taxi rides. I bargain shopped all month long ahead of time shifting things in and out of my shopping cart to try and save, save save! The time came and it came way earlier then expected, it was the day that the money gets put into my account but it was 5 days early. That was the first miracle it was the earliest it's ever been! So it came time to pay the bills and make those absolute needed purchases. But there was no longer the cheapest boots in stock anymore, and when purchasing the gift card there was there that 5% discount. I hesitantly looked at my online balance praying to God I'm my mind Lord please let that that discount be there You know what I am fretting! I checked and I was afraid of so now what do I do? So I called and talked to a representative at the online company and asked "What happened to the discount that there usually is in a calm voice?" I realize that sometimes other people get angry with representatives when they themselves make a mistake and especially when the the company makes a mistake, but that representative doesn't own the company so please be nice to the representatives : ) So I asked her about two issues that I was having joked with her and said I'm sure some people are not nice when they call frustrated but I am a Pastor with patience can you please check on these two issues and see what you can do? She politely said back that she would check on it would I mind holding. I said pastor with patience remember and she chuckled and put me on hold! When she came back she said issue #1 had been applied already and issue #2 was only for first time buyers :( I kept calm and politely said oh ok so no change then on the charge. She said unfortunately yes I am sorry. Then she said mam you were so patient and on hold so long would you mind waiting on hold one more moment I said sure. When she came back she said you have ordered things from us every month, you took the time to go online to rate every single one of your purchases. You took advantage of the gift card refill discount and my boss just told me that for being such a great and valued customer of our company there will not be $42 dollars charged and that my debit card would be repaid this immediately (second miracle)! I broke down and cried then she broke down and cried! I said what did you do to work such a miracle she says back what did you do? I said I was praying! And she says back to me then it must have been God mam! I am still tearing as I finish writing this story because only God can move bosses of companies hearts and only God can move representatives hearts to move their bosses hearts! At the end of it all I was so moved by God today I took time to type out this story with one finger on an I pad to get it to everyone as a witness to everyone else that God loves us and He is the mover of everyone's hearts! Amen! Pr. Kristi-Marie Mankie
