The Glory Belongs to GOD!!

This past weekend, it seems as though I haven't learned my lesson about allowing God to lead instead of me.
I practically freaked out about my electric bill not being paid. Okay, I DID freak out about my elec tric bill not being paid. I had everything all set for doing a yard sale, thinking God will surely see that I'm trying to do good and bless this yard sale..right? WRONG!
It's like I was taking the lead, and just expecting God to bless me with my adventure. Like, "okay, God, I'm going to put you on the backburner for a minute...I'm going to focus all my energy into this yard sale, forgo my Bible studies, and my homeschooling, and my tithing...and guess what? All you have to do is bless me!" What a fool I was.
Then, finaly, on Monday, I rebuked the devil that was causing me stress and worry, and, despite the fact that I wasn't sure as to how, I praised God because, I knew somehow,someway, HE was going to do this, but in HIS time, not when it's convient for me.
So, I felt as though God was telling me to put my old gaming systems up for sale. I did that online, plus my daughters old coats. I a..
Okay, that was weird. I don't know why, but my computer just made a noise like the sound of thunder...i thought it was my IM, saying someone was on, but, no. Huh..how strange.
Anyways, so also, that morning, I finally gave God my tithe. I named the seed, prayed over it, and sent it out. Then I posted the stuff on craigs list.
Well, i at first, I had a response for the yard sale that I held the day before. It was from a woman looking for two particular items, which, of course, I do not have. I replied, and she sent me another message, thanking me for returning her e-mail, and said something like- "I hope you were successful in the yard sale, and that your family will be blessed by the move".
Wow..that was jsut what I needed to hear. "...He(God) knows the heart..."-that's a BIble verse, in psalms, I believe. How did God know that, although I haven't spoken or prayed to Him about it, to send someone to say the reassuring words that I needed to hear? because , He's GOD!!
I thanked her and prayed that God would bless her family for her small, but blessed statement.
No soonere after that, I got a response for the games, and someone was willing to pay $50 for all of them! Wow! Glory to God, that's all I can say..!!!
He not only responded to the post, but asked if he could pick up the stuff at 6pm that night!! Praise GOD!! I couldn't of asked for anything better! I couldn't stop praising God...
Now, I'm excited, because I'm anxiously awaiting for God to deliver to me(somehow) the remaining amount, so that, I can pay my electric bill. Either that, or find me a way to futher extend the time frame to pay it..
But, I'm praising God and God alone, because I know, that it's HIS time, and not mine. Oh, I"m so excited!!! THANK YOU, GOD!!
