God's Provision

God is good. MAN, is He good. We are in need of a copier here at work and have been in the process of getting one. We actually approved a lease for a nice color copier, got it installed and started using it. Soon, we realized this copier was just WAY more than what was needed for our office use at this point , and at the price (good price for the copier, bad for what we needed) we just couldn't keep it. So we returned it with no problem. (Thanks to our friends at Rocky Mountain Business Solutions who were so generous in helping us with that)

Well, if you follow this blog at all you've read about our recent budget work. If you'd like you can read about that here and here. Well, as I said, the budget is almost done. Although in reviewing it I had overlooked ANY money for a copier. Really, at this point, a lease is about the only way to go. We already had a meeting scheduled with an Elementer who works in the copy industry. I knew this would be a fairly hefty budget addition once we decided what copier to go with that they would suggest. I was prepared to re-allocate some funds in order for us to get one.

Today they came in to give us their proposal. They handed us a pamphlet of info on the copier they suggested that would work for our size of use. With the pamphlet was the lease proposal. It listed all the service it includes, toner, etc. At the bottom under the lease price per month, in red letters was "RAK". Then these words were written. "Random Acts of Kindness. One never knows when they might return." They are basically DONATING the use of this copier to us. I was blown away. I have had such a peace about this budget thing the last two days. I didn't have that when I started it, but I felt God just saying "Trust Me!". Then this happens. Even though it's just a copier, it's just another way that God says "I have it all under control."

I don't have permission to share who did this for us, but THANK YOU! And I hope we will take your act of kindness and bless someone else as well. If we'll just rest and trust in God, He takes care of all the details.

I didn't overlook a copier in the budget, God already had it taken care of.
