Ask and You Shall Receive

                         

    

 See this here sprayer do dad? It literally made my day. Its hump day and I was feeling dragged ready for the day to be over, heck ready for the week to be over. See my office smells like crap. I am not even exaggerating. Its right by the bathroom and literally smells like doo doo ery' single day. I can spray stuff all day and it does me no good. So I asked about getting me something to make my room smell good and the parts lady shows up with this today. Ask and you shall receive. (Matthew 7:7)

 Now I realize this is just a silly story and this is just smelly good do dad, but that scripture is become more and more real and evident in my life. See awhile back my husband started praying that we could give more in tithes and offering. Seems like a simple prayer, but what that meant for us is that we would be making more thus able to give more. And guess what? God answered that prayer. Back in June we were blessed with an awesome opportunity to start our own business. Spencer's dad started this bounce house business a few years ago, and Spencer had wanted to get started in it as well. His father now lives in Florida and we live in Arkansas and there was niche for it. Well we prayed that God would open the doors for us to do that, which at the time we thought that meant his dad giving us his business, but then! God did it. He answered our prayers and opened the door for us to start our own business. (We got an awesome deal.)

 We've been running this business we call "Raisin' Cain's" for almost four months now and business has been pretty steady. It's really something. Right when we start fretting about bills or where the money is gonna come from someone calls wanting a bounce house rental. God works in mysterious ways. Well back to our prayer. We asked God to bless us so we could bless Him more, right? Well, just yesterday my husband went to take a bounce house down here in town and as he doing that a man came up to him and began to talk to him. This man is the only competition we have in town. He too owns a bounce house business and has been around for a while so he gets a lot of business. He began to tell my husband that he doesn't want the business anymore and he'd like to hand it off to someone who knows the business not just wants it. He basically in so many words told us that he wants to give it to us and will figure out any way to do so. He also said he is going to start directing business our way.

See what I mean God works in mysterious ways and when you ask, He answers. He may not always answer the way you thought He would and sometimes His answer will be no, but rest assure there is always an answer at the end of prayer.

The crazy thing is this isn't all God has done for us recently. I will definitely be sharing more with y'all soon, but for now I'll just keep you on your toes until next time!
